A BRIEF HISTORY OF CONCRETE

        The invention of concrete is very subjective and can be argued various different ways. Prior to the invention of modern-day concrete, ancient civilizations used crushed, burned gypsum or limestone (lime) as a form of cement. Mortar was then created by adding sand and water to these substances, which allowed for the adhesion of stones. The culmination of thousands of years of trial and error, as well as countless technological advances, is what we know as concrete today. Today’s concrete is made up almost exclusively of Portland cement, which is an aggregate material that consists of coarse and/or fine stone or sand, and water. Admixtures are then added to control the setting properties of the concrete, especially in areas that experience high winds and/or temperature extremes.

       Back in approximately 1300 BC, builders in the Middle East came to the realization that crushed, burnt limestone, when applied to the walls of their structures, created a durable, protective layer which has been credited as being the first archaic form of cement. It wasn’t until 1793, however, that a man named John Smeaton helped accelerate the development of concrete by discovering hydraulic lime--a more modern method for producing cement. Smeaton combined limestone and clay and then fired it until it transformed into something known as clinker. This newly-created clinker material was then ground down into a fine powder. The popularity and acceptance of the use of this new innovation grew exponentially after it was used in the historic renovation of the Eddystone Lighthouse in Cornwall, England. 

       Later yet in 1824, an Englishman, named Joseph Aspdin, invented the product that we are all familiar with today--Portland cement. He did this by using a kiln to burn a combination finely ground chalk and clay until none of the carbon dioxide molecules remained. It was named after the Isle of Portland, England due to the fact that this newly-created material resembled the superior-quality building stones that were used in that region at the time. It is believed, among many scholars, that Aspdin was the first person to create fusion by heating alumina and silica materials until they reached the point of vitrification. Vitrification, however, resulted in a product that was not desirable. So Aspdin was forced to further refine his method by carefully, and systematically, adjusting the proportions of clay and limestone, powdering them, and then finally burning the mixture resulting in the clinker material. This clinker was then ground into the finished product--cement that we now know as Portland Cement.
