Jeffery Roesler holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has been on the faculty of CEE at Illinois since August 2000. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Illinois, Dr. Roesler was a Visiting Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of California at Berkeley.

He has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in pavement engineering, specifically pavement analysis and design. He has been involved in developing and teaching concrete pavement training courses at UC-Berkeley for practicing engineers in California.

Dr. Roesler is an active participant in the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and is a member of the TRB Rigid Pavement Design Committee (A2BO2), Concrete Pavement Construction Committee (A2F01), and Full-Scale/Accelerated Pavement Testing Committee (A2B09). He is a member of the International Society of Concrete Pavements, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and is a member of the ASCE Airfield Pavement Committee. He is also a member of the American Concrete Institute (ACI). He was awarded the ACPA 2001 Marlin J. Knutson Award for Technical Achievement with UC-Berkeley and Western States Chapter of the ACPA for the I-10 reconstruction project. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the state of California.

Research Overview: 

Dr. Roesler's professional and research interests include: concrete pavement design and analysis, shrinkage and creep of concrete, fatigue and fracture of concrete, continuously reinforced concrete pavements, effects of curling and warping on concrete pavement responses, characterizing concrete joint behavior, accelerated pavement testing of PCC, and fibrous concrete.
