Wdym? Just replace the iron rebar with gold
Gold is no where near strong enough.
Titanium would work just as well, and last quite a bit longer.
Isn't titanium too rigid for this application though? I've worked with both for a mechanical application, and titanium has no flex, so stresses get passed in to other components.
I don't know, I'm no civil engineer. Any civvies wanna fill us in?
That could be. Maybe some alloy? Not sure
