Current investments in_x000D_
road maintenance are insufficient and will lead to a decline in condition over time. In addition to this, society is_x000D_
increasingly aware of the need of incorporating sustainable criteria in pavement management. This research_x000D_
proposal aims to enhance the sustainable use of concrete pavements in Canadian conditions. The overall_x000D_
objective of this research is to develop and deliver high quality, low maintenance, long-life, sustainable and_x000D_
resilient pavements to serve the public. In order to achieve this goal, this research will investigate the use of_x000D_
performance-based specifications in concrete pavement, pavement surface characteristics, application of_x000D_
concrete pavement in the municipal environment and precast panels for fast track rehabilitation, asset_x000D_
management and use of recycled concrete aggregates. This specific research projects within this proposal are_x000D_
directed at improving concrete pavement performance and sustainable asset management, concrete pavement_x000D_
surface characteristics, and development of innovative concrete pavement designs for provincial and municipal_x000D_
applications in Canada. The topics covered in this research proposal comprise innovative solutions that address_x000D_
key issues faced by the Cement Association of Canada (CAC), the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO)_x000D_
and several Canadian cities, municipalities and ready mixed concrete companies., program purpose french : Road condition and safety is one of the major concerns of users and public agencies. Current investments in_x000D_
