Lava-Cement to replace Ferro-Cement?

[OpenD]

I'm a big fan of Monolithic ferro-cement domes. They're earthquake proof, can withstand a direct hit from a Force 5 storm without structural damage, are very economical of materials as well as inherently energy efficient. And they use sprayed-on or troweled-on concrete, kind of like an inside-out swimming pool.

Now they've adapted their Ecoshell design to replace the iron rebar with basalt roving. Basalt... you know, we call it lava. It handles like fiberglass but is stronger, won't rust, Pele should be pleased...
