From joshua@usa.healthnet.orgMon May 13 11:56:03 1996 Date: Thu, 9 May 1996 17:25:58 -0400 From: Joshua Gibson To: pavement Subject: Greetings fellow pavers Hello Colleagues: I'm new to this mailing list but pleased to see the internet is being harnessed to facilitate discussions important to improving the global transportation infrastructure. I have been active in construction and civil engineering for 37 years and much of my research and applied work is directed towards improving pavement quality and asphalt design. People don't often consider pavement because it's taken for granted. Road surfaces only get public attention when they fail and potholes begin ripping vehicles apart. It is a problem, I admit, but the people on this list are certainly aware of the tremendous breakthroughs and accomplishments of recent asphalt technology. I look forward to a productive discussion. Let's pave the world!
