Xu, S. (author), Liu, X. (author), Tabakovic, A. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Microwave heating has been shown to be an effective method of heating asphalt concrete and in turn healing the damage. As such, microwave heating holds great potential in rapid (1–3 min) and effective damage healing, resulting in improvement in the service life, safety, and sustainability of asphalt pavement. This study focused on the microwave...journal article 2021

Norambuena-Contreras, J. (author), Gonzalez, A. (author), Concha, J. L. (author), Gonzalez-Torre, I. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This paper aims to evaluate the effect of metallic waste addition on the electrical, thermophysical and microwave crack-healing properties of asphalt mixtures. With this purpose, asphalt mixtures with two different types of metallic waste, steel wool fibres and steel shavings, added in four different contents, were tested. Electrical and...journal article 2018

González-Campo, A (author), Norambuena Contreras, J.E. (author), Storey, L. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)The concept of self-healing asphalt mixtures by bitumen temperature increase has been used by researchers to create an asphalt mixture with crack-healing properties by microwave or induction heating. Metals, normally steel wool fibers (SWF), are added to asphalt mixtures prepared with virgin materials to absorb and conduct thermal energy....journal article 2018

González-Campo, A (author), Norambuena Contreras, J.E. (author), Storey, L. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Microwave heating of asphalt mixtures containing metal fibers is a promising technology for asphalt pavement rehabilitation. The main characteristic of these types of mixtures is that they have the ability to self-heal their cracks when external microwave heating is applied. Prior to this study, the assessment of crack-healing has only been...journal article 2018
