    Concrete has been used for over 7,000 years. Some of the earliest uses of concrete included structures from BC7000 in Galilee, Israel consisting of limestone layers exceeding 30 MPa in strength. In BC3000, a natural cement was produced in China when limestone was burned in furnaces around 900°C to produce earthenwares, resulting in a cement similar to belite cement known for its low heat. The Romans later developed lightweight concrete between BC300-AD200 by using volcanic ash and pumice with lime, constructing structures like the Colosseum and Pantheon dome. Modern Portland cement was developed in 1824 through a process of calcining limestone, mixing it with clay,

    History of Concrete

    • BC7000:Galilee in Israel, it is consist of


    several layer of CaCO3 (upper finish of
    5mm and core 50mm), which was
    apparently manufactured by burning of lime
    stone and slaking thereafter. The structure is
    quite dense and the strength exceeded 30
    Mpa.
    • BC5600:Danube river in Yugoslavia.
    ・BC3000: Daichiwan (大地湾)in China, between 西
    安-蘭州 from this area 秦 (the first empire of China)
    was born.
    ・Where is the region? (map)
    ・We (I and Prof.Daimon,etc) visited the area and
    confirmed the facts.
    ・The cement was incidentally produced from lime
    stones while china wares (earthenwares) were burned
    in furnaces about 900℃.
    ・China wears are still produced in the area.
    ・Also we found the used materials (lime stones). The
    are called “Ryokyoseki”.
    Where
    China Wears are still produced in the area.
    The lime stones
    The place where we can get lime stones.
    This cementitious material is very similar to B-lite
    （belite) cement which is known as low-heat type
    cement.
    The people used the cementitious materials as the top
    coat of the floor in the form of mortar.
    You can see from the picture, the floor is in a good
    condition even 5000years have passed.
    The floor (10x20m)
    The museum
    The landscape around and this area said to be a great forest.
    ・The Romans, during the period between BC300 and AD200,
    they used slaked lime in a mixture with volcanic ash (called
    pozzolana) found in near Pozzuoli near Naples Bay.
    ・The Romans also developed the concept of light weight
    concrete by casting jars into wall arches as well as the use of
    pumice aggregates. The arches of the Colosseum and the
    Pantheon dome were made with such materials.
    ・1824: Evolution of Modern Portland Cement
    A three stage process for producing hydraulic cement was
    first developed by Joseph Aspdin: 1. Calcining limestone,
    2.burning it with clay, 3.recalcining the mixture to obtain the
    final product.
    ・1984: A reinforcing system was patented by E.L.Ransom.
    ・1927: E.Fressynet developed the pre-stressing concept.
