The millennial resistance of Roman concrete:
Abstract: When in contact with sea water, the concrete used by the ancient Romans for port structures became increasingly robust instead of weakening. Merit of the chemical reactions that dissolved the volcanic ash present in the mortar and formed two stratified minerals, increasing the adhesion strength of the material.
