- throwaway09223 4y agoUnreinforced concrete will last a lot longer than reinforced concrete. Steel rebar rusts away. Regarding clay vs modern concrete formulations, my money's on the clay.
- dijonman2 4y agoSteel reinforcement is only one type. You now have fiberglass reinforced rods or you can use an additive like fiber mesh.
- darksaints 4y agoIf the steel rusts away, you just have unreinforced concrete.
- throwaway09223 4y agoYou have unreinforced concrete riddled with holes, in a shape designed to depend on the steel. It won't last nearly as long as a structure designed with unreinforced concrete in mind.
