Abstract:

The concept of microwave-absorbing asphalt concrete (MAAC) has been proposed to create an asphalt mixture with high microwave heating efficiency. The 20% graphite powder and 80% magnetite powder were used as the microwave-absorbing composite to replace the common mineral filler in the asphalt mixtures to improve its microwave absorption capacity. This research aimed to evaluate the effects of proposed absorbent composite on the properties and the microwave heating efficiency of asphalt mixtures. The results indicate that adding graphite and magnetite powder exhibited an improvement in the microwave heating efficiency of asphalt mixtures. The heating rate of asphalt mastic was improved more than ten times higher while the heating rate of the mixtures containing the absorbent composite was improved by 47.8%. The pavement performance test results showed that the technical performance indexes can meet the relevant specification requirements.
