[QUOTE="Roy14, post: 4134270, member: 41855"] One thing I wonder about concrete is how it will last long term. Will it have the ability, if constructed correctly, to last hundreds of years like the stone and heavy timber homes of Europe? Reinforced concrete is undoubtedly stronger (insofar as compressive, tensile, and shear strength) but because it’s aggregate based and man made as opposed to hewn from the earth like stone or grown for a century or more (referring to old growth timber such as moon wood that’s harvested using OLD practices, which is almost unheard of now), will it deteriorate much quicker?
