Description:	Concrete has been regarded as a mature technology which has become tainted by its very familiarity. However, by unlocking its potential, cement-based composite materials can offer a performance as yet unexplored. There is, of course, the ‘Holy Grail’ of the development of high strength, ductile concrete which can rival steel directly. Indeed, it is now possible to produce compressive strengths, on a commercial basis, in excess of 250MPa but equal tensile stress capacity remains as elusive as ever.
