Our research group recently attended the Center for Integration of Composites into Infrastructure (CICI) – National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) – IAB Spring 2023 Meeting hosted by North Carolina State University, Raleigh. We presented the progress on four ongoing research topics. We are proud to report that our presentation was well-received […]

Recently published in the Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering/ Volume 149 Issue 7 – July 2023  on a research study that was conducted to accelerate engineering property improvements by using novel silica-based coadditives along with a traditional calcium (Ca)-based stabilizer. Silica-based compounds, crystalline-silica (CS) rich waste product, and laboratory-grade nanosilica (NS) were used as […]

Recently published paper in Elsevier’s Journal of Cleaner Production, Volume 387 February 2023 on the use of geocell to enhance the performance of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material at a study site near Fort Worth, Texas. The site was monitored for a period of three years to evaluate the pavement performance in terms of rutting, cracking, and […]

Dr. Anand Puppala, Professor | A.P. and Florence Wiley Chair, Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Texas A&M University and Director of Center for Infrastructure Renewal (#CIR@tamu) at Texas A&M University, is giving a keynote presentation titled “Stabilization Studies for Problematic Soils: Innovative Materials and New Perspective” organized by ASCE GEO-INSTITUTE National Capital […]

“GROUND IMPROVEMENT STUDIES ON PROBLEMATIC SOILS WITH FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY AND DURABILITY” Construction of pavements and other lightweight structures on problematic soils including soft soils and expansive soils is a considerable cause of concern for transportation infrastructure practitioners around the Texas and several other states in USA. Pavement undergoes settlements, rutting, cracking, shoulder dropping, and […]
