My husband has been in construction his whole career and he says no one has yet been able to replicate the Roman concrete.

Roman concrete had something in it that self repaired. Limestone I think?

You know the original lightbulbs can last decades! But then corporate greed happens.

So basically the idea of ”Lower quality, cost effectiveness” wasn’t invented by then.

The Ancient Roman's concrete consisted of a mix of volcanic ash or also known as Pozzolana, lime, and water to make a mortar and could heal it self when it got wet for instance when it was raining 🏟️

Concrete is a science. There is not „one“ concrete used nowadays. The reason we don’t use roman concrete is because we have no buildings like this anymore where it would be useful and advantageous

Survivorship bias. Only the really well built things would still be standing for 1000s of years.

a quote resonates: "future is futuristic, yes, but future is cheap" makes me think of how for example tesla is so advanced and at the same time plastic and cheap

Same thing for roads. Roman engineered roads have lasted to this day. Roads built today have potholes within a year 😤

Can you expand on this with a follow up video about Roman concrete; explaining how and why it is superior? Pretty please??? 🙏🏽

Restoration architect here…the reason the mortar is deteriorating is because it’s designed to. We specify weaker mortar in repairs so it doesn’t put force back on the masonry causing it to spall.

Fun fact: the recipe for concrete got lost after the fall of the Roman Empire 476 AD) and got later rediscovered thousands of years later (1414)
