Concrete Geodesic Domes: Building Thin Shell Concrete Domes Using Latex Cement

- This video describes how to build a thin shell concrete dome using latex cement spread over mesh attached to a PVC pipe dome. Different types of latex are used for hydrating the portland cement, including Sika Latex, Mapei Latex for Mortar applications, and White Latex paint. The cement dome is tested over a 4 year period to show the long term ability of a latex cement roof to withstand the weather. The latex cement roof was first used by Dr. George Nez in his book “Latex Concrete Habitat“. We also discuss bamboo domes.
