One of the levers is mix design of asphalt concrete materials. Our group evaluates material capacity and design thresholds to ensure they perform across a suite of rigorous testing and innovatively address a combination of demands. Check out ASU&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/labs.engineering.asu.edu\/pavement\/advanced-pavements-laboratory\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/labs.engineering.asu.edu\/pavement\/advanced-pavements-laboratory\/\">Advanced Pavements Laboratory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"highlight-black\">Pavement Structural Mechanics<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-lead wp-block-paragraph\">Akin to system designs, pavements are subjected to complex interactions of many components, namely tire-pavement contact, material and layer configurations, and environmental conditions. Numerical modeling is a powerful tool that enables an in-depth and flexible evaluation of pavement structures, providing insights on three-dimensional pavement behavior. Our group utilizes a two-pronged modeling approach of tire-pavement interaction and pavement structural analysis to evaluate how pavements react to current and emerging stressors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1349\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/faculty.engineering.asu.edu\/jayme\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/214\/2025\/10\/Tire-Rolling-Loss-Mechanical-Thermal-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105\" style=\"width:655px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faculty.engineering.asu.edu\/jayme\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/214\/2025\/10\/Tire-Rolling-Loss-Mechanical-Thermal-3.png 1349w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.asu.edu\/jayme\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/214\/2025\/10\/Tire-Rolling-Loss-Mechanical-Thermal-3-500x239.png 500w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.asu.edu\/jayme\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/214\/2025\/10\/Tire-Rolling-Loss-Mechanical-Thermal-3-1000x478.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1349px) 100vw, 1349px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"highlight-black\">Damage Quantification<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-lead wp-block-paragraph\">In reality, pavements fail due to bulk weakening rather than damage due to a single-point critical response (used in conventional design and analysis). Our group aims to explore and merge damage evolution techniques with the structural analysis of tire-pavement interaction. Understanding the governing mechanisms of damage enables strategic identification and planning of design and rehabilitation techniques\u2014ultimately promoting long lasting pavement structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1321\" height=\"793\" src=\"https:\/\/faculty.engineering.asu.edu\/jayme\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/214\/2025\/10\/Sample-pq-Domain-Analysis-4.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95\" style=\"width:797px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"mb-2\">Welcome to the Jayme Research Group!
