I believe there is a very unfortunate example of this in Miami in the recent condominium collapse.
A bridge recently collapsed in Italy.
Etc.
So the problem of failing concrete structures is not 'theoretical' but a very real issue. Even though most concrete construction does seem to last pretty well.

- Retric 5y agoMiami building was only 12 stories tall, the comparable wooden structures have been built for an 18 story example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mjøstårnet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mjøstårnet
- fsloth 5y agoSure - my main point was that reinforced concrete will fail concretely and not only theoretically unless maintained. I was not suggesting it could be replaces.
