Researchers discover secret recipe of Roman concrete that
Dec 18, 2014It's been known for a while that the volcanic sand used in Roman concrete and mortar made their buildings last for so long. Now a new study by a group of engineers and engineering researchers has discovered the precise recipe that made the Roman concrete endure much longer than concrete used today.

Pozzolans for Concrete and alternative cements
Fly Ash as a Pozzolan. In combination with portland cement, Class C fly ash can be used as a cement replacement, ranging from 20-35% of the mass of cementitious material. Class C fly ash must replace at least 25% of the portland cement to mitigate the effects of alkali silica reaction.

Transcript of Wood Ash as Partial Replacement for Cement in Pervious Concr. The compressive strength becomes low from Mixture B (3.31 MPa) to Mixture C (3.08 MPa). It so happens that after the Pozzolanic Activity reaches its maximum reaction, it goes back until it reaches its lowest compressive strength.

The History and Recipe For Roman Cement 2018-11-01
Nov 01, 2018Roman Cement. The volcanic ash constituting pozzolana is high in amorphous silica and also contains finely constituted alumina. "Amorphous" literally means "without form." Under most natural conditions silica organizes itself into a highly stable, non-reactive, crystalline state such as sand or quartz.

The Greeks essentially 'invented' the first hydraulic cement (hardens under water) by mixing lime and volcanic ash. Romans used a similar lime based mortar, rigorously and carefully measured and skillfully worked. Modern concrete is cement mixed with sand and gravel at a 13/14 ratio, activated with water.
