About Me
PhD Student in Pavement Engineering
Masih Beheshti is a graduate student in pavement engineering at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering, ASU. He is in his 3rd year of study as a PhD student under supervision of Dr. Hasan Ozer and a graduate research associate at ASU.
His main scope of study includes pavement design, numerical modeling, fracture analysis, data analysis and application of novel approaches for pavement design and material fracture characterization. Development of a mechanistic-empirical model for asphalt overlay design for airfield pavement is among one of the projects on which he is currently working. This project involved the development of computationally efficient numerical frameworks to capture non-uniform crack propagation due to aircraft wander considering aircraft speed and pavement temperature profile.
Development of an automated construction quality monitoring and inspection protocols using unmanned aerial vehicles, and assessment of thermal and durability cracks in asphalt pavement in southwest region are among some of the other projects on which he is currently working.
