> Reinforced concrete crumbles after a few decades due to steel expanding under corrosion
This is caused by pore water. By comparison, mud bricks crumble instantly if they get wet, not "after a few decades".
> Reinforced concrete doesn't make buildings earthquake-proof, (properly enforced) earthquake safety regulations do.
Compared to mud bricks? Yes, yes, it does.
I'm sorry, reinforced concrete is a better building material than unbaked mud bricks by every possible metric, except maybe cost..

By comparison, mud bricks crumble instantly if they get wet, not "after a few decades No… That's fascinating that we are having this discussion honesty. This shows you don't have any idea about how this works but are here saying nonsense with a sense if self satisfaction… FYI mud brick don't collapse when they're “wet”, soaked maybe they could but unless you put them in water or leave it unprotected from the top during monsoon, it's not happening. > Compared to mud bricks? Yes, yes, it does Yet Turkey… But hey, I know you don't give a shit about facts, you've just shown it above > I'm sorry, reinforced concrete is a better building material than unbaked mud bricks by every possible metric, except maybe cost.. Ever heard of CO2 emissions?
