Concrete tech has came a long way since I started in this business twenty years ago. We finished a very large defense project a few years ago that used some crazy mix designs and chemicals I'd never heard of up to that point. Concrete is a pretty complicated cake to bake these days. A lot more than average people realize. The mixes on our project had to achieve crazy compressive strengths, as well as be heat and chemical resistant.
