Investigation on the asphalt concrete containing conductive fillers has a great contribution to the researches of melting snow and ice. However,it is few to research on the fatigue behavior which is important in the profile. By four-point bending fatigue tests,the specific fatigue models of conductive asphalt concrete were developed. The parameters of three fatigue models were regressed,the three models predicted the fatigue behavior by the strain levels,the strain levels and initial mix stiffness and dissipated energy respectively. In the model of the strain levels,the fatigue life is decreased at the same strain level as the conductive filler is added. The model based on the strain levels and initial mix stiffness reveals that the fatigue life is partly affected by the initial mix stiffness which is influenced by the conductive filler. The model used the dissipated energy approach is adopted to predict the fatigue behavior with the introduction of the impact the conductive filler on the dissipated energy.展开更多

The material is self healing in such a sense that some external stimulus is needed in the form of heating by induction energy. Steel wool was added to porous asphalt concrete to enhance its electrical conductivity and induction heating was applied to increase the temperature to heal the micro-cracks and repair the bonding between aggregate and binder. The main purpose of this paper is to examine the mechanical properties of this sustainable porous asphalt concrete including indirect tensile strength,work of fracture,particle loss resistance and water sensitivity. It is found that adding steel fibers to porous asphalt concrete to increase the healing performance also can improve its overall mechanical properties.展开更多
