Self-Healing Analysis of Half-Warm Asphalt Mixes Containing Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Slag and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) using a Novel Thermomechanical Healing Treatment.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, the self-healing of asphalt pavements promoted by microwave radiation heating energy is gaining attention and strength in the scientific community. However, most of these studies are only conceptual and, thus, remain shrouded in uncertainty regarding technology development, economy, and application effect. Therefore, there are several efforts underway to offer more effective assisted healing treatments that are capable of overcoming such uncertainties. This paper aims to assess and quantify the healing performance rates (HR) of half-warm recycled asphalt (HWRA) mixtures containing electric arc furnace (EAF) slag and total recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) rates. To this end, a novel assisted thermomechanical healing treatment (i.e., a recompaction-based technique and microwave heat
