Abstract

Although much of 19th century technological development in Australia and New Zealand followed that in Britain, the use of reinforced concrete construction was an exception. The application of Roman concrete in Europe and Australasia is reviewed, together with reinforcement of masonry. The circumstances surrounding the building of the Addington water tower in New Zealand in 1883 and the Annandale aqueduct in Sydney in 1895 are described, together with subsequent developments.
