Concrete

This is not limited to concrete, but in general if you want to have certain materials last a long time, you want to prevent entrapped moisture.

If you want to make the concrete for your house (basement or slab) last a long time here are a few things you can do.
-Have a house with large over hangs on the roof.
-Gutters that route the water discharge from a rain fall to a good place to drain it.
-Patios and court yards and the yard in general, sloping away from the house.
-Have a house on land with good drainage.
-Rebar or matting or other re-inforced steel should be enclosed with concrete. (Not exposed on one end to rust away.)
