Abstract
Experiences gained, lessons learned, and challenges faced in some landmark concrete construction projects will be discussed. This includes some of the world’s tallest buildings, one of the world’s largest pedestrian bridges, and one of the largest and deepest wastewater pumping stations. The gap between research and development and large-scale concrete construction will be emphasized. Opportunities for implementing breakthroughs and modern advances in materials science in concrete structures will be identified and current research needs will be highlighted
