This paper examines some of the research innovations in the 20th century that led to advancements in concrete. The paper also explores what the future may hold as a result of the continuing advancements in high-performance durable concrete. The paper is organized under the following subheadings: significant areas of development; rehabilitation of deteriorating and damaged infrastructure components; design and rehabilitation; recent developments (creep and shrinkage control models, geopolymer concrete, flexible engineered cementitious concrete, hybrid GFRP-reinforcement for bridges and other structural systems, and self-consolidating concrete); constructability considerations; long-term durability; education and training; monitoring and cost evaluation; and expectations and conclusions.

This Keynote Paper was presented at the Honorary Forum, Dialogue with Leaders in the Design and Construction of Transportation Facilities, sponsored by the TRB Concrete Materials Section, January 23, 2006, TRB 85th Annual Meeting, Washington, D.C.
