How did the Romans make some of the most lasting cement and concrete without all your fancy processes 2000 years ago ? You still didnt say what the "composition" of cement and concrete is.... What minerals? Compounds ? What are the ingredients in " Clay" ? Define Clay ? Great visuals on video though.
Why do the Roman concrete structures last? First of all, not all of them do/did. Those that remain today after all that time are the ones that were better built. Or just built more massive. But another reason is that the Romans didn't use steel rebar which means they couldn't build many of the types of structures we can today which absolutely need rebar. Rebar, however, means that the structure can't last 2000 years because eventually water will seep into the concrete rusting the rebar which will then expand and crack the concrete. But that isn't a big issue. Generally, it doesn't make economic sense to build structures that last 2000 years when lasting 100 years (or something to that effect) will suffice.
Great explanation! congratulations to the creators and the Cement Manufacturers Ireland

Is it bio degradable
It's a mineral, like stone. Stone generally isn't biodegradable.
