Description
Norambuena-Contreras and co-authors test self-healing asphalt with recycled tire fibers in a study from two thousand twenty-four. Steel fibers recovered from old tires can help asphalt absorb microwave heat. Heating can then melt the binder enough to close cracks.
The team compared four mixes with three fiber doses plus a plain reference. They measured heating at several exposure times, then cracked and healed samples over repeated cycles. Heating worked mainly through the stone aggregate, so added fibers proved unnecessary. Healing improved with more cycles in all mixes, with or without fibers. For lab-sized samples, forty seconds of heating worked best. The authors say the results support tire recycling in roads.
