Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction II Contributions to the 2nd International Conference on Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction (AM3P 2020), 27-29 May, 2020, San Antonio, TX, USA

Inspired from the legacy of the previous four 3DFEM conferences held in Delft and Athens as well as the successful 2018 AM3P conference held in Doha, the 2020 AM3P conference continues the pavement mechanics theme including pavement models, experimental methods to estimate model parameters, and their implementation in predicting pavement performance. The AM3P conference is organized by the Standing International Advisory Committee (SIAC), at the time of this publication chaired by Professors Tom Scarpas, Eyad Masad, and Amit Bhasin.

Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction II includes over 111 papers presented at the 2020 AM3P Conference. The technical topics covered include:

- rigid pavements

- pavement geotechnics

- statistical and data tools in pavement engineering

- pavement structures

- asphalt mixtures

- asphalt binders

The book will be invaluable to academics and engineers involved or interested in pavement engineering, pavement models, experimental methods to estimate model parameters, and their implementation in predicting pavement performance.

- Rigid pavements

- Pavement geotechnics

- Statistical and data tools in pavement engineering

- Pavement structures

- Asphalt mixtures

- Asphalt binders

Dr. Kumar Anupam is an assistant professor in the Section of Pavement Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. He is actively involved in teaching courses such as Micromechanical modelling of AC, Continuum Mechanics and Pavement Construction and Maintenance. His research activities are related but not limited to performance-based big-data analytics; tire-pavement interactions and micromechanical modeling of AC. He has been involved in several international projects which include FP7 EU projects and projects in the middle east. In national projects, he works in close cooperation with the Rijkswaterstraat, the Netherlands. He is a co-editor of Functional Pavement Design IV: Proceedings of the 4th Chinese - European Workshop on Functional pavement Design, CRC Press and Advances in Materials and Pavement Prediction: Papers from the International, CRC Press. He is an active member of the ISAP, TRB, APSE, iSMARTi and serves on the editorial board member of IJPE. Dr. Anupam holds a Bachelor's degree from Indian Institute of Technology-Roorkee, India and PhD degree from National University of Singapore, Singapore.

Dr. Bhasin is Professor of Civil Engineering, Temple Endowed Teaching Fellow and Director of the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) at The University of Texas at Austin. His research and teaching interests are in the area of infrastructure materials. He performs research that relates fundamental properties of constituent materials to the engineering performance of composites such as asphalt concrete mixtures. Dr. Bhasin has led several research projects sponsored by private and public sector entities both within and outside of the United States. He is actively involved in several national and international organizations and committees pertaining to research in the area of pavements and materials. His research and teaching has been recognized through several different awards and h
