The Roman Civilization and their Concrete and Cement

         Ever wonder why ancient roman buildings are still relatively intact today, yet the foundation on your forty year old house is already deteriorating?

         Hundreds of years ago, the Romans developed a grade of conrete which is much more durable that the conrete in which we use in our every day lives. You ask yourself why, we don't just develop a form of concrete similar to that of which the Romans used? Even with our advancements in research and technology, we are still unable to discover what allowed such a durable concrete to be formed.

         However, several researchers have heavily analzyed and researched this mystery, and this website will help you to learn more about the Romans and their "super" concrete.
