Abstract:
This report documents the major findings gathered during
a one-week task force trip to western Europe during June
of 1993. The task force trip was organized by the Civil
Engineering Research Foundation (CERF) in coordination
with the National Science Foundation (NSF), which
co-funded the study with CERF. Additional funding was
provided by the Federal Highway Administration, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Air Force. During
the trip to Europe that is documented in this report, a
team of 28 leaders from the construction industry,
government, and academia visited six countries, observed
a variety of laboratories and construction sites, and
met with many private and public sector representatives
to gain an understanding of constructed civil
infrastructure systems R&D in western Europe.
