Introduction:
When burning wood or coal to heat houses was the main way to do it, there were a lot of cinders. In the 1850s, this overproduction made a new block type. A normal house could make a lot of cinder waste in one winter, making it a cheaper aggregate. Concrete has been used for hundreds of years. Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians were the first to use simple concrete blocks. Historians even think that some of the pyramids were built with simple concrete.
Romans used concrete mortar as early as 200 AD. To make concrete, the Romans used local ingredients. Roman construction needed strong materials during this time, so concrete was a great choice for their infrastructure and buildings. In 1824, a British cement maker named Joseph Aspdin got a patent for modern concrete. Aspdin came up with the recipe for cement, which we still use today. The product he developed is called Portland cement. Harmon S. Palmer made the first hollow concrete block in the U.S. in 1890. By 1900, Palmer had gotten a patent for his idea. These concrete blocks were so heavy that one person couldn’t carry them alone.
its good one .. i like it.. n learnt alot..
ya its so nice to have informations………
every have to learn
mind blowing
Very good note regarding the Engineering, also knowledgeble too.Thank you for providing such paper on site

Hay, Iam Jayasankar from Kerala, and Iam very happy to join this
civil engineering work is essential, without this field we cannot develop a world
I AM VERY HAPPY TO JOIN
truly motivating for civil engg. students like me….
a good website for future civil engineers like me……..
william rodrigues from cochin kerala. I thank you for such information regarding
civil engineering. And also wish to have other information dealing with materials
used in construction. Viz steel and chemical used in cement concrete.
thank you
CIVIL ENGINEER GIVES COUNTRY ITS ON LOOK WITHOUT IT A COUNTRY CANNOT RUN
please send more details
Expressing the meaning – “Being a Civil Engineer what it means to the rest of the world as well as our responsibility towards them.”
Really nice.. It helps to the future civil engg students..
nice one dude….
I am a civil engineer graduated from bangladesh university of engineering & technology
in the year 1988.
I am now working as a consulting engineer in various foreign aided projects in Bangladesh.
