Rami Chkaiban, PhD

Senior Engineer
Applied Research Associates, Inc.
Champaign, IL, United States

Dr. Chkaiban is a Senior Pavement Engineer at ARA’s Transportation Infrastructure Division. He has more than 7 years of experience in transportation engineering field. Prior to joining ARA, Rami spent 2-year with a geotechnical and environmental consultancy firm. He pursued his PhD at the University of Nevada, Reno while focusing on developing and deploying innovative asphalt pavement technologies. His dissertation entitled “Influence of Balanced Mix Design on Asphalt Mixture Decision Making, Predicted Pavement Performance, Traffic Diversion, and User costs” converted the laboratory theoretical outcomes to real life scenarios. Dr. Chkaiban possesses two master’s degrees one from the US and another from France. In his US master’s work, he worked with the FHWA to update the vehicle operating costs (VOCs) model used in the Highway Economic Requirements System (HERS) and Realcost software. During his master’s work in France he explored the use of innovative non-destructive techniques in pavement surveying.
Rami’s expertise at ARA includes material modeling and performance, prototype developments, pavement forensics, asset management, highways and airports pavement design, mechanistic-empirical pavement design, asphalt mix designs, non-destructive testing, and research.
Rami is a member of ASCE, AAPT, and a Committee Member of TRB Standing Committee on Stabilization of Geomaterials and Recycled Materials [AKG90], TRB Standing Committee on Asphalt Mixture Evaluation and [AKM40], and TRB Joint Subcommittee on Integrating the Flexible Pavement Life Cycle [AKT20(1)].
