Interesting... we’re maybe a century or two into heavy use of reinforced concrete. Does it mean that eg the iconic buildings of Manhattan will eventually need knocking down and rebuilding?

I think Manhattan in general is somewhat challenging environment, combination of temperatures going below freezing, being relatively wet at times and being near sea. Ofc, good maintenance can prolong the lifespans.
