Materials Science in Ancient Rome [PDF]
Two books, the "De Architectura" by Vitruvius and the "Naturalis Historia" by Pliny the Elder, give us a portrait of the Materials Science, that is, the knowledge of materials, in Rome at the beginning of the Empire.

Comparison between Portland Pozzolana Cement & Processed Fly Ash blended Ordinary Portland Cement
This paper presents a comparison between two different procedures for the use of Fly ash (FA) in cement industry. The first which is very often used is by adding FA to clinker as in the manufacture of Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC).The second which is ...
