    Would concrete even hold. I mean lava is molten rock and cement is kind of a rock. So wouldn’t the cement melt before pressure could build up?

      Most cements melt at a higher temperature than most lava gets to, so it would be solid chunks of cement getting blasted miles out when the pressure builds high enough to erupt

        It probably wouldn’t melt, but if you heat moist concrete it will spall ans crumble to bits before too long.

      Even if the plug would hold the volcano would just split open another hole in the earth and erupt from there
