Road Materials and Systems

Our vision is to enable for unconventional sustainable and multi-functional pavements, optimized from vehicle-road interaction considerations.

Research focus:

Mechanics-based pavement analysis and design

Performance-driven design of infrastructure materials

Vehicle-pavement interaction

Non-destructive testing

Sustainability in infrastructure engineering

On-going projects:

• Multi-scale characterization and modeling of bituminous mastic
• New performance models for unbound road materials
• Long term structural integrity of asphalt mixtures under combined climate and mechanical loading
• Mechanics of stone-based materials at large deformations
• Vehicle-road interaction
• Development of advanced evaluation and construction methods for asphalt joints
• Large scale modelling of railway ballast layers for high speed railways
