Hancher, D E (1998) Innovations in highway construction: Twelfth Peurifoy lecture, 1997. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 124(5), pp. 343-346. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
This paper is a summary of the remarks made by the writer for the 1997 ASCE Peurifoy Construction Research Award Lecture, October 6, 1997, Minneapolis, Minn. The paper discusses the traditional highway construction process and construction-related research done prior to 1990. The many catalysts for changes in the highway construction industry in recent years and the research related to these changes are then discussed. Future challenges in the highway construction industry and opportunities for construction-related research for construction engineering faculty are covered in the remainder of the paper.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
