What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Alfred University created a cement mix designed for marine durability, which is currently being used in seawalls on Long Island. The material replaces finely crushed stone normally used in cement production with waste glass particles. The blocks are being placed in Long Island Sound to test whether the glass-based pozzolan reproduces the long-term durability of Roman concrete in open water.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The mix aims to achieve marine durability similar to ancient Roman concrete while utilizing waste glass. This approach substitutes traditional pozzolans and crushed stone, offering a potential alternative to conventional cement components in coastal construction.
