Dr. Salman’s research interests lie in the broad area of infrastructure asset management and execution of sustainable repair, rehabilitation, and replacement practices. He has been involved in research projects that focus on various aspects of management of water (drinking water, wastewater, stormwater) pipe networks and transportation systems (e.g., pavement, bridges, rail, airports). Some of his current projects focus on contractual provisions of accelerated bridge construction projects, geolocation of as-built record plans for transportation projects and improving water utility asset management practices in terms of social sustainability. His research is funded by various agencies including the Transportation Research Board, Water Research Foundation, and the New York State Department of Transportation.
