Mariusz Jaczewski

Mariusz Jaczewski is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Transport Engineering at Gdańsk University of Technology. His research focuses on advanced testing methodologies for road materials, particularly cold recycled bituminous mixtures and their mechanical properties under various conditions.

Research Interests

Dr. Jaczewski specializes in the evaluation of damage mechanisms and nonlinear behavior in cold recycled materials. His work addresses critical challenges in pavement engineering, particularly concerning the low-temperature performance of bituminous mixtures and thermal stress analysis. He has developed innovative testing procedures to assess material stiffness, damage progression, and nonlinear responses in sustainable road construction materials.

His research has significant practical implications for improving the durability and performance of road infrastructure, especially in cold climate regions where thermal cracking poses major challenges to pavement longevity. By developing new strain sweep and deformation testing methodologies, he contributes to more accurate prediction of material behavior throughout their service life.

Recent Publications Trends

Dr. Jaczewski's recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate a focused research trajectory on advanced testing methodologies for cold recycled bituminous materials. His work consistently addresses the relationship between strain levels and material stiffness, damage progression, and nonlinear behavior in sustainable road materials. A significant portion of his research examines low-temperature performance characteristics, particularly thermal stress development and cracking resistance in bituminous mixtures.

His methodological innovations, including new strain sweep testing procedures and deformation sweep approaches, represent important contributions to the standardization of testing protocols for recycled road materials. These developments support more accurate assessment of material properties and potentially longer service life for pavements constructed with recycled components.
