[QUOTE="jmk97GT, post: 10024941, member: 26457"] I agree with this. String is still used, for example, because it's cheap and just as effective as other more expensive, complicated methods. There has been so much technological advance in other areas of the construction industry that actually matter. Those Egyptians would have killed for 15+ ksi environmentally resistant concrete. Talk to an engineer during WW2 and ask them what pre-stressed concrete is and they probably wouldn't know. Steel tendons as strong as 270,000 pounds per square inch? Ha! You've got to be crazy! It is not my expertise, but I know that hot mix asphalts as well as concrete pavements have come a LONG way in recent history as well. Materials are the driving force behind bigger and better infrastructure projects. [/QUOTE]
