Abstract

Before the development of monumental buildings in Roman Concrete during the 1st cent AD, the maximum ?carry" of monumental roofing across unencumbered floor space was something up to 7 m, as born on prodigiously massive stone beams, difficult to fabricate and to set in place. The revolutionary development in scale effected in Roman Concrete roofing was maintained after the discontinuance of Roman Concrete construction. In principle Roman builders employed three structural forms when erecting concrete roofing and they are the Barrel Vault, the Cross Vault and the Dome. For concrete construction a sheathing of impervious materials was required immediately below the soffite of the vaulting to prevent the escape of the liquid content of the concrete while curing. These two features, the former ?centering" and the latter ?shuttering", in general are formally and functionally quite distinct. The process of constructing concrete roofing is entirely different from constructing concrete walling.
