Dr. Kutay's background and interests are primarily in experimental and numerical investigation of the fundamental material behavior of asphalt pavements and granular materials. His research focuses on the improvement of the AASHTO Superpave mix design, understanding and better prediction of fatigue cracking in asphalt pavements using state-of-the-art techniques such as the Viscoelastic Continuum Damage (VECD) Theory, and development of tools to improve understanding of permanent deformation (rutting) characteristics of asphalt pavements. His other research interests include pavement surface characteristics such as smoothness, tire/pavement noise, and splash/spray.
