For the first time ever, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is hosting a Track & Railroad Workplace Safety Symposium, April 5-7, at St. Louis Union Station. Dr. Surya S C Congress will be delivering a lecture on our ongoing UAV-based research works on improving the safety of railroads in the Breakout Session: UAS (Drones): Practical […]

Our research group will be presenting our ongoing works on an #analyticalapproach to estimate the bearing capacity of the geocell-reinforced foundation system; the #feasibility of using metakaolin-based geopolymers for stabilizing high-sulfate expansive soils; and the #effect of polymer emulsion treatment on permeability characteristics of subgrade soils. We are excited to meet you at #geocongress2022 conference, […]

Our research group is collaborating with Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to monitor the safety of railroad tracks using cutting-edge sensors. As part of the ongoing project funded by FRA, Dr. Surya Congress (Lead-PI) and Dr. Anand Puppala (Co-PI) are deploying Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and using Computer Vision techniques to evaluate the safety conditions of the rail infrastructure in rural areas.

Texas A&M University’s GI team was selected among the top 12 entries for the 2022 National G-I Geo-Wall Competition (GeoCongress 2022) to be held at Charlotte, NC. The team, comprising of Krishneswar Ramineni, Aditya Deshmukh, Clay Caldwell, and Axel Trujillo, successfully stands amongst the top 4 entries for their excellent design report. A travel grant […]

We are excited to announce that Dr. Ashrafuzzaman Khan successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation entitled “Effectiveness of Geocell Reinforced Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Base Layer for Flexible Pavement System Over Expansive Subgrade” in Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Texas A&M University and continuing with our research group this semester as an Associate Transportation Researcher in Texas A&M Transportation […]

Our group had a good Transportation Research Board (TRB) 101th Annual Meeting 2022 with three paper presentations and two posters presented by doctoral and post-doctoral students. Two of these papers on Resilient Characteristics of Polymer Emulsion Treated Sandy Soil and Evaluation of Geopolymer for Stabilization of Sulfate-Rich Expansive Soils for Supporting Pavement Infrastructure are recently […]

The State of Alaska has the most beautiful and challenging terrains. Dr. Anand Puppala and Dr. Surya Congress are collaborating with the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities as part of a research project on using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for infrastructure asset management. The focus of this study is on bridge infrastructure and public facilities. If you are interested, […]
