Blood in concrete is a very ancient practice.

Aerial lime-based mortars are recommended by many experts to restore the ancient buildings due to their great compatibility with ancient building materials. But their shortages (like long hardening time, relatively low mechanical strength, high water absorption capacity, etc.) limited their application in many fields. In this paper, the performance and mechanism of different simulated blood mortars are presented. The results showed that the mortar prepared by blood with lime had better binding strength, waterproof property, weather resistance and curing speed than common lime mortar. Through the conductivity, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TG and curing speed test, it was found that the excellent performance of blood lime mortar was caused by the hydrolysis of blood proteins under alkaline condition and their special multilayer structure.

Sure would;

I watched a historical reconstruction recently where they laid a lime mortar floor with the addition of bull's blood and they used gallons and gallons.

Guess you're gonna need a lot of child sacrifices for that.

…the use of blood with clay probably goes back to the ancient cult of Mithras which

originated in Asia Minor. In the belief that Mithras' slaying of the bull brought life to

the earth, bulls blood became a symbol of the sap of life with a power to protect

houses (of clay) from the attack of Ahriman, the evil power. As a matter of fact clay

houses which had been treated with blood did withstand better the sudden cloudbursts
