Archaeologists in Lebanon uncovered the oldest hydraulic lime plaster in Phoenician architecture, predating Roman concrete by ...

Tiziana Vanorio, a Stanford assistant professor, relies on a novel observation made by Roman author Pliny the Elder in 79.

Imagine concrete that not only survives wildfires and extreme weather, but heals itself and absorbs carbon from the air. Scientists at USC have created an AI model called Allegro-FM that simulates ...

In this video, I discuss a few modern techniques that help improve design life of concrete, including roller compacted concrete (RCC) and water reducing admixtures (superplasticizers). There are a ...

Roman concrete's durability comes from a combination of its ingredients and production methods.

The ancient Romans weren’t just great at conquering lands—they were also engineering geniuses. Their secret weapon? Pozzolanic concrete, a next-level material that made their structures ...

An innovative manufacturing technique used by Romans has been found to be the key to their concrete lasting for over 2,000 years, offering valuable insights for modern construction materials.

After decades of almost exclusively industrial duty, today, roller-compacted concrete pavements make sense almost anywhere.

Scientists believe they have finally discovered the secret to Roman concrete and why it has lasted thousands of years.

Researchers may have finally found a way to recreate ancient Roman concrete, which is stronger and can heal itself.

But it is much less resilient than the concrete used in Roman times; over the course of decades, it develops cracks that, by letting water in, can eventually destroy the material.
