Abstract: The main problem with using concrete as a building material is that it cannot creep under load and so it cracks. Daedalus plans to create a crack-free concrete. Known as 'Wet Cement', his concrete will be a calciferous mortar that takes up water from the air, so it never dries out. It will be much less stress-sensitive than conventional concrete, and it will be welcomed by architects and householders alike.
