History

Which structural failure was reduced due to Roman concrete in harbor fortifications?

A)Seawater-induced chemical attrition
B)Erosion rates impacting access
C)Oxidation impacting truss integrity
D)Thermal distortion impacts archways

💡 Explanation

Roman concrete utilized pozzolanic ash for hydraulic cement, creating structures resistant to seawater-induced chemical attrition. This reduced attrition because of reaction with saltwater constituents, therefore greatly extending the functionality of marine constructions rather than purely physical weathering.
