John T. Kevern, Ph.D., P.E., LEED AP, University of Missouri – Kansas City
Dr. Kevern is a nationally recognized expert on pervious concrete. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Iowa State University with both thesis and dissertation on the durability and application of pervious concrete. He sits on pervious concrete committees at the American Concrete Institute (ACI), American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE. He is a member of the national transportation research board (TRB) and sits on the emerging concrete technology and concrete durability committees. In 2012 Dr. Kevern was named one of the top five most influential people in the concrete industry by concrete construction magazine and received the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Walter P. Moore Jr., Faculty Achievement Award. In 2013 Dr. Kevern received the ACI Young Member Award for Professional Achievement.
Some of his current research topics include novel techniques to improve pervious concrete durability, improving water quality using pervious concrete, internal curing using waste materials, incorporation of industrial by-products in cement and concrete, techniques to reduce cost and improve performance of soil structures in sub-Saharan Africa, and eliminating joints in concrete pavements. He has authored over 80 journal articles, papers, and reports and has been an invited presenter over 120 times at US and international conferences.
