🚀 Dr. Puppala’s Research Group at the TRB Annual Meeting 2024

Posted on January 12, 2024 by Ayush Kumar

🌟 Exciting News from the Puppala Research Group at Texas A&M University at the TRB Annual Meeting 2024 in Washington D.C. 🌟

🚀 We are thrilled to announce that our team had an impactful presence at this year’s Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting. Our group, led by esteemed researchers from Texas A&M University, showcased a series of innovative presentations and organized a highly engaging workshop. Here’s a snapshot of our contributions:

Nripojyoti Biswas and Anand Puppala organized a comprehensive workshop and panel discussion on “Stabilization of Geomaterials with Different Polymer Additives,” offering invaluable insights into advanced geomaterial technologies

Jianxin (Jason) Huang presented “Mechanical Performance of Sandy Soil Treated with a Cationic Polyelectrolyte”. The work delves into mechanical strength characterization of sand treated with organic polymers

Sopharith Chou presented “Evaluation of Locally Available Calcined Clay-Based Geopolymer for Stabilization of Expansive Soils” – an in-depth exploration offering promising solutions for soil stability

Clay Caldwell and Hiramani Chimauriya, EIT explored “Transportation Infrastructure Insulation Using EPS Geofoams to Mitigate Freezing and Thawing Related Movements.” Their work paves the way for more resilient infrastructure in extreme climates

Ayush Kumar, E.I.T. presented “Evaluating the Efficacy of Chemical Stabilization to Rehabilitate Highway Embankment Slopes in Texas,” shedding light on sustainable maintenance practices

Amit Gajurel‘s talk on “Application of Satellite-based Remote Sensing for the Management of Pavement Infrastructure Assets” highlighted the growing importance of remote sensing in infrastructure management

Aditya Deshmukh, EIT unveiled “Design and Implementation of a Full-Scale Shallow Geothermal Bridge De-Icing System in North Texas,” showcasing innovative approaches to winter road safety

Prince Kumar, Ph.D., E.I.T. did an exceptional double presentation on “Assessment of Durability of Chemically Stabilized Soils Using Different Moisture-Susceptible Methods” and “Resilient Moduli Characterization of Cement-Treated Silty Soil at High Compaction Energy Condition,” contributing significantly to the field of soil stabilization

Our team’s presence at TRB 2024 not only highlights our commitment to advancing transportation research but also showcases our dedication to fostering collaborative and innovative solutions for the challenges facing modern infrastructure

We would also like to thank our sponsors
