DOMUS story 3 - Reinforced concrete structures

Satisfied with the work done so far, I finally start the construction of the vertical structures, and I do it with a technique that has very little to do with the art of building in the Middle Ages: reinforced concrete. I'm aware of the apparent inconsistency, but the reasons that lead me to this choice are purely structural. Once finished, the model will reach a considerable weight, but it will certainly be subjected to a variety of stresses that a normal building is not required to withstand, except in case of extreme calamities. In fact, I decided to equip the Domus with an internal frame that allows it to be moved in case of relocations, expositions, etc.

In this video some elements that were discarded in the final construction appear, such as the steel bars that I intended to place at the four corners of the building and that will be replaced with segments of wire added from time to time as the work progresses.
Even the construction technique of the concrete walls and pillars plays a false start, clearly highlighted in the middle of the video. The poor quality of the first structures built (and then demolished) is due to the excessive quantity of water in the mixture, but also to the formation of air bubbles inside the formwork.
Problem solved in the second part, by making the walls separately on a horizontal support and assembling them later with the use of a strong glue and metal joints.
