We present an archaeology of concrete in the prehistoric landscapes of Stonehenge and Avebury, where concrete is a major component of megalithic sites restored between 1901 and 1964. We explore how concreting changed between 1901 and the Second World War, and the implications of this for constructions of prehistory.
Latitudinal Salt Lines (or Salt Parallels), deriving from the equator and running in an east-west direction: from the North pole down to the South pole, and then continuing on the other side of the planet back up to the North pole, we cross 366 parallel lines in all.

The reason salts pose a problem to masonry is because they are soluble and can dissolve and recrystallise, often within the pores of the stone at the point of evaporation. Each salt has different solubility characteristics, and some are more problematic than others.
14 cze 2024 · Concrete with various water-to-binder ratios exhibits diverse changes in relative mass. In saline soil, O-0.3 demonstrates the highest increase in relative mass, while O-0.5 exhibits the least increase (in 5 % and 10 % saline soil) or the most significant loss (in 15 % saline soil).
