Interests:
Professor Baladi's interests are in the areas of building
foundations, geotechnical and pavement engineering, engineering
management of transportation infrastructure, the development
of pavement performance prediction models, characterization
of composite engineering materials used in transportation
networks, and backcalculation of the engineering properties
of layered systems. Specific research interests include
emphasis on pavement management, fatigue and plastic properties
of soils, unbounded materials, and asphalt pavements. Current
research in these areas focuses on the optimization of and
maximizing the benefits of pavement management data collection,
behavior of roadbed soils, unbound materials, and asphalt
pavements under heavy vehicular loads, and recycling of
asphalt pavements.
