Human bones are stronger than concrete. A bone can actually resist 40 times more stress than concrete. ;D ;D ;D For weight bone is one of the strongest materials on earth, super light, flexible and strong, they are chambers of hollow walls allowing them to bend. Most people think bone is weaker than concrete because people break bones on it, but if you were to compare a piece of concrete to the exact same size as bone it would break easily. Bone is 40 times more stress resistant than concrete. Steel is 10 times stronger than bone, but is 4.5 times heavier. Bone is good with compression, a femur can hold about 1-2 tones of weight with compression strengths, but is weaker with torsion (bending) and tensile loads (stretching). Bone is made from calcium and phosphorus.

So basically it would be a super high air grout with calcium and phosphorus as the cementitious material?

I just finished my IPA, now I have a six pack of Guiness chilling in the fridge. It should be ready in time for St. Paddy's day.
