>>uni student doing undergrad research on concrete
It's actually quite impressive all the admixtures and reinforcements available on the market
The big problem is, either you have concrete that is rated 14ksi and performs absolutely horrible under elevated temperatures, or concrete that can endure 700°C but loses 80% of its compressive strength post heat.
Also; has anyone heard of concrete that's repairs itself being exposed to water?

That is some cool shit, where are you going to uni? I interned in rock mechanics this summer, so I ran a lot of compressive strength tests with rock cores. Worked pretty closely with a concrete engineer though.

i just started my master thesis which is somewhat related to well concrete (using acoustic emissions in reinforced concrete for damage detection) and read that around 300° C concrete loses alot of its compressive (?) strength.
had to think of 9/11 truthers lel
To be honest I don't have much of a concrete understanding about the material.
