Since childhood, I've always been fascinated by concrete. Something that starts as a liquid slurry and becomes as hard as rock and is used to build just about everything. This video shows a HUGE amount of progress (and potential for progress) with this ancient building material. Thank you so much Tyler!

I must admit, I have never come across a video on an engineering topic that's as clear, engaging and motivating as this one. Detailing all the challenges and opportunities of concrete in our world made me more confident to engage the steps each one of us needs to take in order to change the industry for the better. I personally can't thank Tyler enough for the knowledge he's sharing. But perhaps you will feel rewarded one day when you will hear someone praising your name and your work from a another part of the world or even a third world country you never visited before. That's what I set myself to do. Just keep on sharing.

I've been in redimix concrete industry since 2003. Mostly as a mixer truck driver but some batching. Your video's are the best. Thanks and please don't stop doing concrete video's.

Zig Ziglar Is a person I used to go see in the 70s. Because if Zig I got into physics. Its nice to see younger folks know who he is. My favorite line of Ziig was "Almost is not good enough" At that time pay phones were common and 10 cents. Zig said you can go to a phone booth with 9 cents and you cannot call Anyone. So yea Almost is not good enough. Tyler You are a good man.

It's a cool channel, I'm a chemical engineer, not a civil one and I've worked a little bit with concrete admixtures production but had little knowledge of concrete itself. I've been doing a lot of research myself because it's such an interesting topic and having an actual professor lecturing me on youtube is great. Tyler Ley is a bit goofy but it makes for some fun videos although it seems some people dislike it. I subscribed.

This is video number 7 for me... Should have started the videos in order 😂. A huge thank you for these videos. I'm assuming you've already done a video on geopolymer concretes....no worries, I'm going to watch all your videos. Thank you again

I only worked driving a concrete truck for 4 months,but had so many questions and had no one to answer them. Some older concrete can last eons and longer. Why is this I ask. The aggregate means a lot methinks. In my experiences over the past 20 years I have seen pea stone in concrete last longer and flake less than dark cruched stone. I was wondering what you thought about a round aggregate as apposed to a sharp angled erratic shape stone. also,perhaps what is in that pea stone may be a factor. I am on the Fundy shore in Nova Scotia Canada and have a plethora of various stone from glacial movement.

I've often asked the same question. I've never worked in concrete, but I've done demo work, and invariably came across all kinds of concrete and concrete degradation.

I read some where that coal fly-ash to concrete will add to the strength and make it lighter. Is this true?

Hello and thank you for the video. How can we apply physics concepts to evaluate the size and the spacing of the concrete when it's still wet? Your advice would be highly appreciated.

5 cents/lb! I got two pallets of 80lb Sakrete mix from HD for $3.08 per bag. Of course I had to haul it home for my retaining wall foundation job. Another advantage of concrete--longevity and strength in old age (from moving all that weight by hand).

Why not bite the bullet and use stainless steel rebar or carbon fibre rebar or a combination of both? I know upfront cost is higher but long term costs should be much lower!

Ok/ Can you explain 'pancake failures in concrete buildings? These have occurred during construction, after construction, and with a few Lbs of explosives, deliberately. I understand how festinating it can be to make a structure that just barely hangs under expected load, with minimum materials, but buildings don't need to fly. The pyramids, for example, have endured. We have much evidence that macro calculations of durability disregard micro effects over time. And I'm still pissed about that stupid bridge in Miami.
