Cement, as a building material, is old. The earliest forms of cement were used by the Egyptians and the Romans thousands of years ago. Techniques for making cement that eventually led to modern cement-making were first developed by French and British engineers in the 1700s. It was during the Industrial Revolution, though, (about 1800) that techniques for making modern cement were introduced.
Just think about that: from 1800 to 2013 is more than 200 years of cement-making. Isn’t it time for new building materials that draw on the great qualities of this time-honored and tested substance?
