PRP’s research extends to a wide range of paving materials, material testing systems and procedures, construction quality control methods, and pavement management areas including:
• Composite pavement design to prevent rutting, fatigue, and reflective cracking
• Tire/pavement noise measurement
• Mechanistic pavement design
• Pavement material modeling
• Conventional and polymer-modified asphalt
• Innovative materials in hot mix asphalt
• Recycled materials in pavements
• Remaining service life evaluation to improve pavement management
