ABSTRACT
Concrete technology was introduced to China in the late 19th century, and it deeply impacted Chinese construction patterns in the century that followed. This paper, based on Chinese publications in the first half of the 20th century, demonstrates the categories of knowledge and “importation” of concrete technology. It aims to clarify how this technology integrated into local engineering academia and industry and gradually influenced native construction in China, and it is expected to contribute to understanding the knowledge exchange between the East and West.
