Concrete is never that dry, unless it is in the middle of a roaring
fire, and crumbling from the heat. Without water, concrete has no

Concrete is strong because the lye in it etches its way into the
particulate granules, and bonds them together during the cure process.
SOME water remains, but I never learned it as being the main mechanism

I wonder how Moon mud-bricks would test out. :-) |
