Dr. Surya S C Congress, Hiramani Chimauriya, EIT, and Shane Moller conducted #360° inspections of multiple long-span #bridges in Alaska using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) while Jesse Escamilla III, P.E. S.E., Ben Still, P.E., Noah Solomon-Lopez, and Dr. Jared Jones of Bridge Design and Management Divisions, Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities, simultaneously conducted […]

Our research group is working with Federal, State, and Local agencies to monitor #pavement, #rail, #bridge, #airport, and #daminfrastructure assets using various cutting edge technologies including unmanned aerial vehicles (#UAVs), machine learning, neural networks, computer vision, and others. Dr. Surya S C Congress will be presenting some of these ongoing works at ASCE International Conference […]

We recently added the temperature controlled Triaxial Testing Equipment to our state-of-the-art Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory in the Center for Infrastructure Renewal at Texas A&M University. This equipment can be used for a wide range of applications to design infrastructure in freezing conditions. Our students and post-doctoral candidates are trained hands-on by industry experts. Below is […]

Check out our study on “Evaluation of #Geopolymer for Stabilization of Sulfate-Rich #Expansive Soils for Supporting Pavement #Infrastructure” published online in Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board. Jungyeon (JJ) Jang spearheaded this work under the supervision of Dr. Anand Puppala, Dr. Nripojyoti Biswas, Dr. Surya S C Congress, Dr. Miladin Radovic, and with the help of […]

We are excited to share our recent study on #Resilient Characteristics of Polymer Emulsion-Treated Sandy Soil led by Prince Kumar, E.I.T.and supervised by Dr. Anand Puppala, Mr. Jeb Tingle, Dr. Sayantan Chakraborty, Ph.D., and Dr. Surya S C Congress. It can be accessed from the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board Link […]

Congratulations Dr. Jungyeon (JJ) Jang! Dr. Jungyeon (JJ) Jang, well known among his peers as Jay Jay, grew up in Dongducheon, a very small town in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, and lived with his grandparents, parents, and relatives. During his childhood, he enjoyed his trips to nearby mountains and rivers to observe and collect various […]

A team of faculty members was given the Engineering Genesis Award for their #innovative Focused CoPe project on #disaster related #resiliency and preparedness to address built #infrastructure related issues along the #coastal corridors and assist #underrepresented communities Link to the post    

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, […]
