Pretty minor. If they picked up the whole data center and soaked it in a large jug of 10% acetic acid for about nine months, the concrete would lose about 20% of its strength.

Not sure about the civil engineering side, but I assume there's enough safety factor in your average construction to account for 20% strength loss.

    That safety margin is supposed to last many years, though. If it's removed before the building is even constructed, it might have to be re-poured.
