What's buzzing, friends?
Concrete - we did a photo challenge on it a few weeks back, but let's talk more about this material. Concrete is a highly versatile and widely used material in modern construction. It is known for its strength, durability, and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Despite its many benefits, concrete is not impervious to the effects of time and exposure to natural elements, especially seawater. Over time, it can break down, resulting in cracks and other damage that can compromise the integrity of the building structure.
Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem, which comes in Roman concrete. This ancient building material has existed for over two thousand years and is still strong today. Today, we will take a second and talk about what makes Roman concrete so unique and durable.
The answer lies in its unique composition. Unlike modern concrete made primarily of Portland cement, Roman concrete is a mixture of volcanic ash, lime, and seawater. This combination creates a chemical reaction, a crystalline substance resulting in a more robust and durable material than traditional concrete. In some ways, it heals itself even over time. WOW.
In addition to its strength and durability, Roman concrete has other benefits that make it ideal for modern construction. For example, it is more environmentally-friendly than traditional concrete, as it does not require high temperatures to produce. Its composition also makes it resistant to seawater, making it an excellent choice for coastal or marine structures. If you want to learn more about this, head to , and read the article.
There you have it - the Romans knew the trick to make things last, and they knew how to concrete the ideas that still stand today. Good for you, we also like to cement our thoughts, and you can get up-to-speed with all the developments from DBuzz below!
Wonder if the Romans had to deal with this issue too.

This week's Friday photo challenge is centered around the theme of bridges. Whether metaphorical or physical, the challenge is to capture an interesting photo showcasing bridges' beauty and significance.
Bridges have always held a special place in human history and culture, representing a connection between two things. Physical bridges not only help us to cross rivers, valleys, or other barriers, but they also serve as architectural marvels that frequently become tourist attractions. They are also symbolic of overcoming obstacles, building relationships, and fostering connections. Go show us what you got, and find a good bridge!
