Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Poornachandra Vaddy's research focuses on the performance and lifecycle assessment of pavement materials. His work includes investigating the embodied energy and carbon footprint of pervious concrete pavements through lifecycle assessment frameworks. Vaddy has also employed the discrete element method to study the flexural strength of pervious concrete and conducted multi-scale in situ investigations of infiltration parameters in these pavements.

His research extends to asphalt mixtures, evaluating the short-term performance of spray-on rejuvenators using a modified bending beam rheometer test. He has developed methodologies for measuring heave height in asphalt specimens tested with the Hamburg Wheel Tracker and for assessing the storage stability of asphalt emulsions. Vaddy has also contributed to the development of a mechanistic-empirical-based highway cost allocation model for flexible pavements and streamlined uniaxial cyclic fatigue testing of asphalt mixtures.
