I've been looking at chickenwire/shotcrete art form structures as an alternative low cost 'building' method (poured in place slab in an 'igloo' basically) and swimming pools/pond liners. The sprayers typically function similar to a bernouilli venturi pump using 'dry' cement. Has any body out in the real world ever constructed a sprayer similar to a chopped fiberglass sprayer for shotcrete applications?
I'd also wondered about using 'plasti-crete' products in a 'shotcrete' manner.
Also looking for any 'structural calc' info.

Murphys law 28th corollary- If there are five ways for something to go wrong, and you circumvent all five, a sixth will promptly develop.
Kwazai's addition- if you circumvent the sixth a seventh will develop, etc. etc.
