We do know the recipe… Chemist and scientists have analyzed it and broken it down with 100% accuracy and the composition is known… It’s not lost to time at all… It’s also a fact that there’s many different compositions/recipes that were used depending on available materials… Some of it has held up better than other Concrete and what is impressive is the Romans knew exactly what was best but obviously how do use materials available in some cases knowing that they were using inferior materials

It’s made from seawater,lime,vulcanic ash,blood and little stones.. Seen it in a documentary a few months ago. It hardens very quick,is stronger and lasts longer than ours,also doesn’t suck in water when dry ours up to 2cm,if i’m not wrong it even hardens underwater(they did a test in a aquarium) and a few other things that makes it better than what we use now..

Horsecrap, we've used volcanic ash in concrete and we've built structures as permanent since the Romans.
Roman concrete has to provide resistance to both compression and shear forces due to its uniform material. Modern concrete is more resistant to compression but resistance to shear forces is provided by reinforcing it with steel.
Reinforced concrete is why we have been able to build thousands of structures bigger than the Romans ever dreamed.

I can put a sample through both MALDI mass spec to get the exact composition. And then through electron spectroscopy for surface analysis to see how the outer faces have reacted to outside elements over time. But oops! This has already been done - there is no mystery.
Concrete today breaks down because of rebar. We have concrete mixtures which contain various compositions beyond standard concrete which last as long as you like, when rebar isn’t used. So walls, sea defences etc. Rebar isn’t used for critical structure points in large buildings so we won’t see any sky scrapers crumbling due to this issue. Rebar is cheap and strong and fit for purpose in the applications it is used in. It’s not supposed to last forever.

They don’t want buildings to last thousands of years because it would put the industry out of business.
