On 21 October 2026, as part of the CE411 – Highway Materials course, a technical visit was organised by Dr Duygu Demirtürk, accompanied by Dr Tuğba Yazıcı, to the Directorate General of Highways’ Research and Development Department.


During the visit, our students had the opportunity to visit the Bituminous Binders, Bituminous Mixtures and Soil and Stabilisation laboratories, where they were able to observe first-hand the experimental work carried out on road pavement materials and the testing equipment used.


We would like to thank Mr Mehmet Ali Alkan, Head of the Pavement Development Branch, and Mr Murat Sağlam, as well as Mr Savaş Nedim Tutan, Mr Nejat Hakan Susam, Mr Atakan Öztürk and the laboratory technical team for their valuable insights, close attention and hospitality.
