RESEARCH NEEDS IN CONCRETE PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION
A SUMMARY IS PRESENTED OF THE WORK OF HRB'S RIGID PAVEMENT COMMITTEE OVER THE PERIOD 1965--1969 IN ASSESSING RESEARCH NEEDS FOR CONCRETE PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION. EXISTING RESEARCH NEEDS ARE RANKED, AND RESEARCH RESULTING FROM PREVIOUS ASSESSMENTS IS DESCRIBED. REQUIREMENTS WERE RANKED IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER OF IMPORTANCE: CONCRETE FINISHING, JOINT DESIGN TO SIMPLIFY CONSTRUCTION, SKID RESISTANCE, DEVICES FOR DETERMINING THE PROPERTIES OF PLASTIC CONCRETE, CURING AND METHODS OF CONTROL, CONCRETE PROPERTIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS TO FACILITATE EXTENSION OF THE PAVING SEASON AND OVERCOME THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF WEATHER, AND PAVEMENT CRACKING.
