Framework for replacing steel with aluminum fibers in bituminous mixes

This research explores the incentives for replacing steel fibers with aluminum fibers in fiber modified bituminous mixes. In this work the focus is on fiber modified bituminous mixes especially designed for induction heating. Inductive fibers are heated up because eddy currents are generated - according to Joule’s law - when alternating magnetic...

Inductive bituminous mortar with steel and aluminum fibers

This research presents the implementation of a finite element model analysis for assessing the potential of utilizing alternative fibers for the development of inductive bituminous mixes with lower total weight, higher resistance against corrosion, and sufficient induction heating efficiency. Aluminum fibers are<br/>selected as the metallic...
