Today's concrete is far better than what was produced in the past. Of course, I'm not talking about crappy badly done concrete but the good stuff that is used in most good engineering works. Sure, you can point to a government bid sidewalk falling apart but that is meaningless anecdotal evidence in this discussion. That's politics and greed, not materials science and chemistry.

The most common blend of modern concrete, known as Portland cement, a formulation in use for nearly 200 years, can’t come close to matching that track record, says Marie Jackson, a research engineer at the University of California at Berkeley who was part of the Roman concrete research team. “The maritime environment, in particular, is not good for Portland concrete. In seawater, it has a service life of less than 50 years. After that, it begins to erode,” Jackson says. The researchers now know why ancient Roman concrete is so superior.[...]the findings, which were published earlier this month in the Journal of the American Ceramic Society and American Mineralogist, are considered so important[...]
