Re increased tensile strength, what new opportunities will Edencrete offer in the area of design ideas?

As an example,

"This unconventional structural system was inspired by the material in question: as unreinforced concrete has poor tensile strength, it is unsuitable for use in a cantilevered system as used in many spiral stairs, prompting the development of a stacked system. Each step hooks around the central threaded steel bar, and is clamped to the step below, with interlocking elements to prevent the steps from slipping. The central threaded bar, in turn, connects to the ceiling above to support the entire assembly and keep the stair steady."
