Sounds almost too good to be true.

Have you tested it out with fibers added to the concrete mix?

Seriously, that should be a winning combination as far as strength goes and definitely increase the life of the concrete/structure.

Just thinking out aloud here.

Similar to you, no degree here either, but three buildings that I designed and built, from which I learned a hell of a lot about building and winter/salt and you name it. Not a professional, but know a little here and there about bits n' pieces when it comes to construction planning and execution.
