It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

I do not see how this is reasonable or feasible considering this would have to be done to every CIP pour sequence for the whole structure, including the foundation.
Perhaps more feasible in precast construction.

Good quality concrete mixes, good placement techniques and good design will allow concrete to last long beyond the expected useful life of the structure.....which gets lower as time goes on because of societal changes.
