Concrete made with several layers of finely divided reinforcement, instead of the conventional larger bars. It is usually made in thin panels, about 12 to 25 mm (1/2 to 1 in.) thick. The maximum aggregate size is about 5 mm (3/16 in.). It can be used for curved surfaces such as boat hulls, the concrete being applied to the reinforcement with a trowel in several layers without the need for formwork. 1, record 1, English, - ferrocemento
