Cementi is a blog around the history and background of cementi.
This web site is about the most important invention of the 20th century: Cementi. Concrete, and its surrounding ecosystem, have shaped our built environment like no other material or innovation.
Cementi is a collaborative effort between people around the world who care about concrete history and science. It follows in the footsteps of previous collaborative efforts such as Wikipedia and SourceForge, where many thousands of people create great things together. While those projects are open to anyone to participate, Cementi is only open to experts (including academics, researchers, engineers and practitioners) who are willing to share their knowledge with others. We welcome your contributions!
You can read more about why we’re doing this at our manifesto.
Cementi is a blog around the history and background of cementi. The blog posts are written in English and German. The focus of the blog is on the history of cementi, but it also covers topics like cementi manufacturing, chemistry, cementi-based products and construction methods. Cementi is originated from the german word for cement, which is Zement.
The blog aims to provide a resources for those who are interested in learning about the history of cementi and its uses over time, with a particular focus on developments in Europe, where cementi was first invented.
Cementi was first invented by Joseph Aspdin in 1824. He patented his process in 1824, which he called Portland Cement as a reference to its colour when mixed with lime and sand. Portland Cement is still widely used today by modern masons as an ingredient of mortar and concrete.
Although most people today associate Portland Cement with concrete, it has several other uses:
– Making mortar (mixing sand and water)
– Plastering walls and ceilings
– Making concrete blocks or bricks (for building construction)
Cementi is a blog focused around the history, background and development of cementi and cement. Cementi includes articles on everything from the history of concrete to how to make your own concrete.
Cementi was launched in January 2012 by Steve Hudson, who works for a company that makes cement equipment. You can contact the author through the form on the contact page or via email at stevehudson@cementi.com.
What is cementi? Cementi is a blog on the history and background of cement, concrete and related topics. It was started in February 2011 and is run by Simon Austin, a civil engineer in London (see About page for more details).
Why have I started writing this blog? Cement has always been the poor relation among construction materials. It’s often described as “grey goo” or “industrial waste”, with little thought about where it came from, how it works and how it will develop. But it has a fascinating history, and its chemistry is being pushed to new limits every day.
What do you mean by cement? I use the word in two senses. First, as the material that hardens to form concrete. Second, as the material used to bind together sand and gravel in mortar (sometimes called lime mortar). The latter use dates back thousands of years, while modern portland cement (the type used in concrete) was invented around 200 years ago.
Hello, everyone!
I’m writing this blog to share my expertise in cementi and its history with the world. Originally I made this blog for a school project but now that I’ve gotten into it I plan on keeping it up.
I have learned a lot about cementi through my research. I plan to share what I know with you. If you want to learn more about cementi, then this is the place for you.
I hope that you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it!
