Abstract
Retrospective of the building materials (namely cement) development from the 17th century to the present is presented. On October 21, 1824, D. Aspdin patented Portland cement – this date is considered to be the “birthday” of the modern cement. However, the composition and properties of that binder seriously differed from present. 200 years of research and testing, optimal components ratio studying, firing temperatur control, continuous improvement of cement production technologies and methods allows us to create more complex and durable structures. Russian scientists V.M. Severgin, E.G.Chelishchev, N.N. Lyamin, A.A. Baykov and others made a significant contribution to the cement development and its properties study. Currently, the Russian cement industry is a dynamically developing sector that is completely privately owned. There are more than 58 cement plants operating in the RF, which provide the domestic market with building materials and participate in export supplies.
