The mixture of lime and pozzolan used by ancient Romans in construction projects is very similar to modern lime-pozzolan cement. After hardening, the concrete made of crushed stone cemented with it not only has high strength, but also can resist the erosion of fresh water or salt water. For a long time, as an important cementing material, it has been widely used in construction projects. 1756, British engineer J. Smeaton found that in order to obtain hydraulic lime, limestone containing clay must be used for firing; The ideal composition of masonry mortar for underwater structures is made of hydraulic lime and volcanic ash. This important discovery laid a theoretical foundation for the research and development of modern cement. 1796, Englishman J. Parker burned a kind of cement with marl, which was brown in appearance, very similar to the mixture of lime and volcanic ash in ancient Rome. Therefore, it was named Roman cement. It is also called natural cement because it is made of natural marl and contains no ingredients. Roman cement has good hydraulic and quick-setting characteristics, which is especially suitable for projects in contact with water except general building projects. Until 1850, Roman cement was widely used in the prosperous period of civil engineering, and then it was gradually replaced by silicate cement. 1824, on the basis of predecessors' work, British construction worker J. asp Ding first obtained the patent right of portland cement through continuous experiments and practice. He used limestone and clay as raw materials, mixed them in a certain proportion, calcined the mature materials in a vertical kiln similar to lime burning, and then made cement by grinding. Because the color of hardened cement is similar to the stone used for building in Portland, England, asp named it Portland cement. Because of its excellent building performance, Portland cement has gradually replaced other kinds of cementitious materials, such as hydraulic lime and Roman cement, and has been widely used. The invention of Portland cement is of epoch-making significance in the history of cement. Since then, the development of cement has entered a new historical period.
