Technological confidence in late Republican and Imperial Era Roman architectural and maritime concrete construction / Marie D. Jackson

Imperial Roman builders' confidence in more-or-less standaridizes lime-volcanic ash mortars is recorded by daring structural designs in architectural concrete in Rome and the rock-like durability of maritime concrete in Mediterránean harbor structures. Vitruvius emphasized knowledge and expertise, or scientia, in late Republican construction technologies (de Architectura 1.1.1-2)- These principles are recorded by the first century BCE archaeological record. The Tomb of Caecilia Metella (30 BCE) in Rome, for example, has extraordinarily resilient wall concretes with mortars reinforced with strätlingite crystals. The harbor construction at Caesarea Palaestinae (23 to 15 BCE), to which builders shipped enormous quantities of pumiceous ash from the Gulf of Naples, crystallized zeolite and Al-tobermorite mineral cements. The physical processes that underlie late Republican builders' advances in concrete technologies and which form the foundation of Imperial builders' trust and reliance on pyroclastic rock concretes are now being explored with new volcanological and mineralogical research.
P. 15-28.
