  Project I: Investigate block cracking mechanism in asphalt pavements o Developed an analytical 3D elastic model to predict block cracking for asphalt pavements subject to thermal stress o Built a viscoelastic-cohesive contact model under PFC framework (a discrete element software) using C++ for stress and fracture analysis o Established a 3D viscoelastic, inhomogeneous and anisotropic micro-mechanical model to simulate macro-crack initiation and propagation in asphalt pavements o Analyzed and visualized the simulated crack development process, and validated block cracking mechanism Project II: Performance-based mix design approach for modern heterogenous asphalt mixtures o Conducted extensive performance testing (creep compliance, fracture and rutting tests) on large amount of asphalt pavement samples collected throughout Chicagoland, statistically analyzed the test results, and predicted cracking possibility of the asphalt pavements using the analyzed data o Proposed performance-based approach to design mixtures to have even longer pavement life at little-to-no extra cost Project III: Pavement evaluation of Race Street (Michigan St. to Washington St.) in Urbana IL o Conducted pavement condition survey and identified pavement distresses to evaluate current pavement condition o Analyzed Falling Weight Deflection data and coring images to examine root cause of the pavement distresses o Proposed three alternative rehabilitation methods that can effectively eliminate the existing distresses Show less

  o Developed nanoparticles modified solar-reflective coating as a cooling overlay for asphalt pavements o Paved two solar-reflective test roads in Beijing and Jinan, China, and installed sensors in the pavement for temperature monitoring and data collection o Collected, filtered, analyzed and interpreted data from field instrumentation, and demonstrated that the overlay reduced pavement temperature by 5 ºC, which could significantly mitigate rutting damage in the test roads o Developed nanoparticles modified solar-reflective coating as a cooling overlay for asphalt pavements o Paved two solar-reflective test roads in Beijing and Jinan, China, and installed sensors in the pavement for temperature monitoring and data collection o Collected, filtered, analyzed and interpreted data from field instrumentation, and demonstrated that the overlay reduced pavement temperature by 5 ºC, which could significantly mitigate rutting damage in the test roads
