Last post I spoke about the different ingredients that make up concrete and today I will talk about the lifespan of concrete and why it is labor-intensive overtime.
The average modern-day lifespan of concrete is a lot shorter than it was when Rome was built. On average concrete only lasts 50 to 100 years due to the material used for assisting in tensile stresses. This material is known as rebar made from steel.

In my past life, working in corporate America, I was on construction jobsite hired as an inspector. My job was to walk the existing… Continue reading
Some of my recent posts have been focusing on new solutions lowering cements carbon footprint while increasing the strength! This post focuses on incorporating nanomaterials into traditional cement which improves water and fracture resistance. You may ask yourself; how does this help reverse climate change?
Well; Almighty Mother Nature is the strongest force on earth and breaks down almost everything man has made. Increasing the fracture resistance to concrete and resistance to water penetration will extend the life cycle of cement. Cement is the #1 material consumed globally and this technology can be applied to roads and cities, overtime the concrete will produce less waste and have a reduction in repairs.
The article titled: New Smart Cement Invented for Building More Durable Roads and Cities… Continue reading
