    The document is a set of true/false questions about concrete. It states that concrete gains strength through drying out as water leaves its pores. Cement is made from limestone, clay and iron ore, and is the ground material that binds sand and rocks in concrete. Some key facts are that Roman aqueducts used early forms of concrete and masonry, and that Portland cement was invented by Joseph Aspdin in 1824 to create a stronger, more durable concrete.
