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.
