Experimental investigation of the performance of a hybrid self-healing system in porous asphalt under fatigue loadings

Self-healing asphalt, which is designed to achieve autonomic damage repair in asphalt pavement, offers a great life-extension prospect and therefore not only reduces pavement maintenance costs but also saves energy and reduces CO₂ emissions. The combined asphalt self-healing system, incorporating both encapsulated rejuvenator and...

A novel self-healing system: Towards a sustainable porous asphalt

Self-healing asphalt, aimed to produce a sustainable asphalt pavement using green technology, has been studied in the past two decades. Technologies including encapsulated rejuvenator and induction heating have been proposed, demonstrated in the laboratory, and gradually evaluated in field application. This paper looks into the synergy effect...

Research on the mechanical, thermal, induction heating and healing properties of steel slag/steel fibers composite asphalt mixture

In this paper, steel slag/steel fiber composite asphalt mixture were prepared. The effects of the addition of steel slag and/or steel fibers on the mechanical, thermal, induction heating and healing properties of asphalt mixture were investigated. The results showed that adding steel slag and/or steel fibers improves the water stability,...
