SUMMARY 



Research and development topics for concrete technology related to 

 the construction of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) structures have 

 been identified. The topic areas are in the major categories of materials, 

 design, construction, and operation. A schedule of recommended research 

 and development is given in Table 2 to lead to near-term advancement in 

 deficient technological areas and to increase the data base from which 

 OTEC structures will be designed.
