When I took a tour of Hoover Dam back in the 1970s they said it would take about 120 years for the cement to cure, from the time the dam was built in the 1930s. My grandfather helped build that dam.

∙ 12y agoAccording to what I read in an article about this, it will take "centuries" for the entirety of the concrete that composes the Hoover Dam to completely cure.
I don't know where I read that, but that fact has stuck with me. Amazing to think that concrete laid down by an overworked, underpaid young man during the height of The Great Depression, nearly 80 years ago now, will still be settling well after you and I are gone.
