Advancement in the Design and Performance of Sustainable Asphalt Pavements / Sustainable Civil Infrastructures (PDF)

Dr. Louay Mohammad is a national and international expert in the area of pavement materials and sustainable asphalt construction. He is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and holder of the Irma Louise Rush Stewart Distinguished Professor and the Transportation Faculty Group Coordinator at Louisiana State University (LSU). He also serves as the director of the Engineering Materials Characterization and Research Facility at the Louisiana Transportation Research Center (LTRC). Dr. Mohammad is a registered professional engineer in the State of Wyoming. Dr. Mohammad teaches and conducts research in the area of Highway Construction Materials, Pavement Engineering, Accelerated Pavement Testing, Advanced Materials Characterization and Modeling, and Infrastructure Sustainability.



Dr. Mohammad has served as the PI or Co-PI on more than 59 research projects (NCHRP Project 9-40 and 9-40A, NCHRP Project 9-48, NCHRP 9-49A, NCHRP 10-84, NCHRP Project 20-07/Task 361, etc.) totaling over U.S. $17.1 million. He has authored/coauthored more than 300 publications in pavement engineering including over 170 refereed journal papers, and delivered over 180 invited presentations and keynote lecturers at national and international conferences. He has developed many standard test methods (AASHTO TP 114, AASHTO TP 115, and ASTM D 8044) and mechanistic models that have impacted pavement materials characterization and performance, and contributed to changes of asphalt specifications. He is the Chair of ASTM subcommittee D 4.25 on Bituminous Mixture Analysis, Past Chair of the TRB Committees AFK40 on Characteristics of Bituminous-Aggregate Combinations to Meet Surface Requirements and member of TRB committee AFK50 on Characteristics of Bituminous Paving Mixtures to Meet Structural Requirement, and TRB committee AFK30 on Characteristics of Non-Asphalt Components of Asphalt Paving Mixtures. Dr. Mohammad currently serves as the Flexible Pavement Section Editor of
