摘要
Asphalt pavements are essential to our transportation infrastructure, but they have a significant drawback: they require frequent maintenance. However, innovation is revolutionizing the field of materials engineering and could change the way we think about road construction and maintenance. Incorporating self-healing technology into the road design phase holds the promise of extending the durability of roads, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance, leading to significant time and cost savings. Past research has shown that asphalt pavement can restore its stiffness and strength during periods of rest due to the closure of micro-cracks that naturally occur under the stress of traffic loads. Recently, interest in utilizing induction heating to improve the self-healing characteristics of asphalt pavements is revived. Integrating self-healing technology into the road design process holds the promise of revolutionizing road construction and maintenance procedures. Self-healing asphalt technology harnesses asphalt’s natural ability to repair itself. By delaying the need for traditional replacement of heavily damaged roads, this technology reduces the production of asphalt mixtures and also cuts down on energy usage during replacement reducing the environmental impact of waste disposal. This chapter provides and insight to the three most promising options and outlines the future development in self-healing asphalt technology.
