Airports pavement evaluation services include, but are not limited to, heavy weight deflectometer (HWD) testing, ground penetrating radar (GPR) testing, static or dynamic backcalculation with the latter considering the dynamic effects and the materials viscoelastic and nonlinear behaviors, joint load transfer efficiency evaluation, runway friction testing, profiling using high-speed inertial profilers or walking profilers, PCN/ACN or PCR/ACR with load rating evaluations, surface condition surveys using manual or automated techniques, and pavement management systems (PMS) implementations.
Roadways pavement evaluation services include, but are not limited to, falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing, ground penetrating radar (GPR) testing, static or dynamic backcalculation with the latter considering the dynamic effects and the materials viscoelastic and nonlinear behaviors, joint load transfer efficiency evaluation, friction testing, high-speed inertial profiling, surface condition surveys using manual or automated techniques, and pavement management systems (PMS) implementations.
Our research interests include, but are not limited to, pavement design and materials of road, port and airport structures, pavement non-destructive testing, pavement rehabilitation and maintenance, pavement management systems, automated distresses identification and classification, advanced pavement analysis, pavement modeling including finite element modeling that considers the dynamic effects and the materials viscoelastic and nonlinear behaviors, accelerated pavement testing, pavement instrumentation including the evaluation and development of new sensors, vehicle routing, optimization and software development.
