Introduction Concrete mixtures can be designed to provide a wide range of mechanical and durability properties to meet the design requirements of a structure. The compressive strength of concrete is the most common performances measure used by engineer in designing buildings and other structures. The compressive strength is measured by breaking concrete specimen in a compression-testing machine. The compressive strength is calculated from the failure load divided by the cross-sectional area resisting

introduction of concrete as a construction medium and the true arch as a structural component made it possible for the Romans to build strong‚ elaborate‚ expansive structures that would endure the test of time. Concrete Roman concrete‚ called opus caementicium‚ was made by mixing traditional lime mortar with stone aggregate called caementa. This material used less water and was very thick compared to modern concrete; therefore it was laid rather than poured (Roman Architecture‚ n.d.). Concrete was an important
