CATENARY VAULT IN MEXICO

see A and B vaults
Catenary garage in Mexico. This is being built with pumice blocks laid against movable formwork. No rebar or iron reinforcing is being used above floor level. The building is self supporting without vertical concrete columns.
Picture
The form work has been moved to do the second half of the vault. Pumice blocks are quickly and easily laid against the 6666WW mesh-- which is later removed.
