Lead engineer in a group of engineers and technicians providing the Air Force Civil Engineering Center with solutions to airfield pavement problems. Flight operations require runway surfaces that can withstand the heavy loads exerted by military fighter and cargo transport planes. This innovative work included:•Accelerated pavement testing and analysis.•Designing, fabricating and testing drop-in precast concrete repair slabs.•Expedited pavement repair construction incorporating controlled low strength material.•Material testing and analysis.•Pavement design and evaluation•Optimizing the materials and construction techniques to repair bomb craters on airfields using hot mix asphalt (HMA).•Developing and testing fair- and wet-weather HMA production, storage, placement and compaction procedures for repair footprints up to 900 square feet.•Designing, fabricating, installing and evaluating prototype heavy-duty aircraft tiedowns for use in both Portland cement concrete and HMA pavements.•Writing test plans and associated technical reports fully documenting research efforts.•Writing white paper proposals for new research efforts including scope, objectives, testing, costs and schedule.•Transitioning the research knowledge into implementation by writing engineering technical letters, training materials and journal articles as required.

Engineer in a group of engineers and technicians providing the Air Force Research Laboratory with new ways to build Air Force structures with inherent protection against improvised and conventional weapons. This research involved:•Developing rubberized concrete mix designs and evaluating them using ballistic tests for a variety of projectiles. •Generating engineering properties needed for resistance functions used in single degree of freedom wall analyses.•Writing test plans and associated technical reports fully documenting research efforts.•Building, testing and demolishing a new hardened barracks for high threat areas using soil filled walls and a roof with pre-detonation and protective layers.
