Dr. Ayadat’ current research interest includes behavior of unsaturated and difficult soils, and foundations design on problematic soils; design/performance of stone column foundations, pile foundations and soil anchors; numerical and analytical investigations on deterioration of highways and roadways flexible pavements; slope stability problems; instrumentations, methods and procedures for laboratory/field soil testing; extraction of contaminant from soils, stabilization of contaminated soils, and stability of sand-betonies liners. He developed several theories for designing anchors, reinforced earth and single/group of stone column foundations, proposed many empirical formulae for predicting collapsible soils, and developed a mechanism concerning the causes of soil collapse.
