Title
Roman Concrete Research by David Moore
Description
This site is dedicated to sharing information and resources on ancient construction technology, especially Roman construction materials, tools, and methods. The goal is to understand and better appreciate the advances mankind made thousands of years ago in developing sophisticated, beautiful and practical structures that, in some cases, still stand today. David Moore provided the inspiration for this site. He wrote the book The Roman Pantheon: The Triumph of Concrete after retiring as a construction engineer.
Mr. Moore has a companion site dedicated to preserving the experiences of Americans who served in WW II. This site includes the feature article about Mr. Moore's experience as a young Seabee during WW II at the battle of Saipan in the Pacific, photos of the island, and other WW II reminisces. Mr. Moore also shares articles on facing medical challenges and home care with the hope that they will help others during their senior years.
