Regis Luis Egual de Carvalho

Dr. Regis Carvalho is a project and research engineer at Dynatest Consulting. He has over 15 years of pavement engineering and software development experience. His background includes pavement design, evaluation (nondestructive testing, profiling, ground penetrating radar, automated and manual distress surveys, and laboratory testing) and backcalculation, pavement research (asphalt materials, mechanistic-empirical design procedures, material characterization and constitutive modeling), pavement management systems and software development. Dr. Carvalho worked extensively investigating the performance of highway pavements and their structural behavior through several FHWA research projects, for example: Impact of Design Features on Pavement Response and Performance in Rehabilitated Flexible and Rigid Pavements and Simplified Techniques for Evaluation and Interpretation of Pavement Deflections for Network-Level Analysis. Dr. Carvalho also has significant experience in statistical analysis after being task leader in several probabilistic research projects for modeling the risk of aircraft overruns and undershoots in runways. As part of this effort, he wrote the first standalone risk analysis software for aircraft overruns and undershoots, combining different applications into a unique tool, as part of the project Improved Models for Risk Assessment of Runway Safety Areas (RSA) and Software Development, ACRP Project 4-08. He is currently the Co-Principal Investigator for the ACRP Project 4-14, Runway Veer-off Location Distribution Risk Assessment Model and Software Development. Dr. Carvalho has worked on more than 100 pavement analysis and design projects, several pavement management system developments and implementations and research projects. He has authored over 15 journal and conference articles, circulars and research reports in the past 6 years. Currently he serves as member at two committees at the Transportation Research Board in the United States (Committee AFD80 Strength and Deformation Characteristics of Pavement Sections, and Committee AFD60 Flexible Pavement Design).Dr. Carvalho holds a BS degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, a MSc and PhD degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Maryland, United States.
