Investigating the healing capacity of asphalt mixtures containing iron slag

This study examines the healing capacity of an asphalt mixture after the introduction of an iron-based additive (iron slag). It is hypothesized that iron-based additives can facilitate healing of asphalt pavement by enhancing the thermal conductivity of the asphalt pavement. To study the healing capacity of asphalt mixtures containing iron slag, specimens with various amounts of iron slag additive were prepared and tested using a semi-circular...
