Abstract:
Australia is a dry warm continent. The major population centres are located close to the coastline. This paper examines the predictions for future building and construction activity in Australia. Based on the physical situation, for example climate and geography, and the anticipated needs for HPC arising from the forecast trends in construction activity it tries to forecast the research needs for HPC in Australia. It also endeavours to assign priorities for these research needs in terms of the size of the market likely to be affected.
