ASPHALT RESEARCH IN CANADA AND THE ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITIES

THE STATE OF BITUMINOUS RESEARCH IN CANADA AND THE ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITIES IN SUCH ACTIVITIES ARE PRESENTED. COMPARISONS ARE MADE WITH SIMILAR U.S. AND BRITISH ACTIVITIES AND AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO PLACE THIS RESEARCH WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE PAVEMENT DESIGN PROBLEM & HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH IN GENERAL. THE PRINCIPAL FINDINGS RELATE TO THE FACT THAT APPLIED RESEARCH IN BITUMINOUS MATERIALS CAN HAVE PAY-OFF IMPLICATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIFIC PROBLEMS OR ADVANCING THE STATE OF TECHNOLOGY. THE MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS RELATE TO THE NEED FOR A GREATER RECOGNITION BY CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES OF THE ROLE OF HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION, AND SUB-AREAS SUCH AS BITUMINOUS MATERIALS, TO THE CANADIAN ECONOMY. RESEARCH NEEDS ARE ALSO DISCUSSED IN THE PAPER. /CGRA/
