Upcoming Research Projects

01
Evaluation of Reheating and Aging Adjustment Factor Concept for Using BMD in Quality Assurance Examines how reheating and aging factors can be incorporated into balanced mix design (BMD) QA workflows to improve pavement durability assessments.
02
Validation of Short- and Long-Term Oven Aging Lab Procedures Validates existing laboratory oven aging protocols to ensure they accurately simulate real-world pavement aging conditions over time.
03
Examining Specimen Fabrication Variabilities of Balanced Mix Design Investigates sources of variability in BMD specimen preparation to improve consistency and reliability across different testing laboratories.
