Abstract: The heating potential of microwave-heated bituminous mixtures depends on the heating characteristics of aggregates. This study focused on understanding the effect of mineral, chemical, and dielectric properties of aggregates ...

Abstract: Healing of cracked bituminous mixes/layers by heating them is considered an effective pavement maintenance strategy in recent times. This study aims to investigate the heat-induced healing ability of cracked bituminous mix ...

Abstract: The healing properties of bituminous mixes prepared using reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material are different from those of virgin mixes because the chemical characteristics of RAP binder blends are different (depending ...
