They got off their duffs and tried something, instead of sitting around snarkily athking "what could pothibly go wrong?"

For that, I salute them.

Apparently, they've learned something about the material properties of their highly experimental concrete mix, and now they're applying what they learned.

That's the way science and engineering work.

Did not see any rebar in the pics of the tear-down and the pour.

Lots of cold joints in the layered pour.

True, but usually engineers test the strength of materials BEFORE trying to build a large structure out of it.

Well said. It is easy to laugh, but this really is how we learn. I'd probably have tried it on a smaller scale, but sometimes to really tell, you have to go all in.
