Abstract Synopsis

  • Ancient Roman concrete has shown remarkable durability over thousands of years, but the reasons behind this longevity are not fully understood.
  • Researchers used advanced mapping techniques to examine lime clasts in ancient mortars, revealing that Romans likely used a hot mixing process involving quicklime.
  • This method may have created structural inclusions that provide reactive calcium, contributing to the concrete's durability; modern tests with similar lime clast mixtures show potential for self-healing, paving the way for stronger and more sustainable concrete.
