Quote:The Roman Pantheon: The Triumph of Concrete
Research by David Moore, P.E.

This section includes articles on Roman Concrete that attempt to explain how the Romans were able to create such durable structures, even when compared against modern concrete construction. A thesis presented here is that the "secret" does not so much lie in the ingredients, as some believe, but instead results from low water ratio and placement.
