Organizing and summarizing search results for youThe strength and longevity of Roman 'marine' concrete is due to a reaction of seawater with a mixture of volcanic ash and quicklime to create a rare crystal called tobermorite, which may resist fracturing. Researchers at the University of Utah discovered that as seawater filters through piers and breakwaters made of age-old Roman concrete, the structures actually become increasingly stronger because of the growth of interlocking minerals. The ancient Romans used pozzolanic concrete, a spectacularly durable concrete that gave Roman structures their incredible strength.3 Sources
