of ordinary silica sand and this results in excellent solar radiation shielding.
There are research studies by Alhajali and Yousef 20 that give the results of
tests conducted with basalt aggregate concrete. Aggregate concrete is not
compatible with shotcrete appliances, so we will grind the basalt aggregate
into sand for our purposes.
There will be several floor plans and sizes of residential dome houses
from 30 feet to 45 feet in diameter to accommodate families of 1 to 6
individuals. Individuals can design their own interiors and include luxury
upgrades and furnishings. Electrical power is from a very large solar array,
located in two 400-foot concrete bowls, with the top rim of the bowls at
ground level, that have a metal screen top over the solar panels to provide
Faraday Cage protection during solar storms. These bowls also serve to
collect rain and snow water and channel the water into underground cisterns.
