Effect of seawater on the reactivity, microstructure, and strength of Roman-inspired lime-pozzolan binders

Roman marine concretes were frequently produced using seawater, yet the influence of seawater on lime-pozzolan reactions remains poorly quantified. In this work, pastes and mortars prepared with slaked lime and a natural pozzolan from the Phlegraean Fields were mixed with either...
