Qiu, J. (author), Van de Ven, M. (author), Wu, S. (author), Yu, J. (author), Molenaar, A. (author)The self-healing capability of bituminous materials has been known for many years. Researches were mostly focused on the self healing behaviour during load repetitions. The tests are either time consuming and/or complex. In this paper, a simple self healing test procedure is presented combining the fracture-healing-re-fracture test (FHR) with...journal article 2012

Qiu, J. (author), Molenaar, A.A.A. (author), Van de Ven, M.F.C. (author), Wu, S. (author)It is a well known fact that asphalt mixtures have self healing capabilities. Yet most of the self healing investigations are carried out using complex and time consuming fatigue tests. In order to investigate the self healing capability in a simple and efficient manner, a beam on elastic foundation test setup (BOEF) is proposed in this paper....conference paper 2012

García, A. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Van de Ven, M. (author), Van Vliet, D. (author)It is well known that the healing rates of asphalt courses increase with the temperature. A new method, induction heating, is used in this paper to increase the lifetime of asphalt concrete pavements. Mastic will be first made electrically conductive by the addition of conductive fibers. Then it will be heated via induction energy. This will...journal article
