And oil shale during spontaneous combustion occurred in Israel to form a natural deposit of cement compounds. The deposits were characterized by Israeli geologists in the 1960's and 70's. Used mud mixed with straw to bind dried bricks. They also used gypsum mortars and mortars of lime in the pyramids. 300 BC - 476 AD.

To Advance Present Knowledge - To Assist Future Developments. Tuesday 30th August 2016. The use of reinforced concrete is a relatively recent invention, usually attributed to Jean-Louis Lambot in 1848. Joseph Monier, a French gardener, patented a design for reinforced garden tubs in 1868, and later patented reinforced concrete beams and posts for railway and road guardrails. Original source http:/ matse1.mse.uiuc.edu/concrete. Concrete is strong, inexpensive, plentiful, and easy to make. Slightly more th...
