 INTRODUCTION
 Asphalt is a prominent material in road construction. However, the
flexibility of asphalt concrete gradually deteriorates after few years of
service due to repetitive daily traffic loads and changing environmental
conditions, especially temperature and humidity, and binders become brittle,
which can cause loss of adhesion and even aggregates segregation.
Self-healing asphalt pavement incorporating glass fibers is an innovative

approach to address cracks and damage in road surfaces. By embedding glass

fibers within the asphalt mix, the material gains the ability to autonomously

repair minor cracks. When exposed to heat, such as sunlight or warm

temperatures, the glass fibers act as a catalyst, triggering the healing process.

This process involves the bitumen within the asphalt softening and filling in the

cracks, contributing to enhanced durability and longevity of the pavement

infrastructure.

CONCLUSIONS
 Based on the LAS analysis, at a 2.5%
strain level, PG 58-28 has poor fatigue
resistance
compared to the other tested
binders.
 It was found that the calculated FREI
values obtained for binders modified with
GPCM
 The additions of 5% and 7%GPCM resulted
in good fatigue

 Still, the resulted in a minimal improvement
in the self healing capacity of the binders
when the rest period was limited to 5 Min.

OBJECTIVES
 Optimising Glass Fiber Content
To determine the optimal percentage of glass fibres to be added to
the asphalt mix to achieve the best balance between self healing
capabilities and structural integrity.
 Material Characterization
Understand the mechanical and rheological properties of the asphalt
mixture with glass fibres to ensure that the material meets required
standards and performs optimally.
 Durability Enhancement
To investigate how the incorporation of glass fibres contributes to the
overall durability of the asphalt pavement, considering factor like
resistance fatigue, aging, & environmental stressors.
 Cost-Benefit Analysis
To evaluate the economic feasibility of incorporating glass fibres by analysing the
cost implications against the benefits, considering factors such as maintenance
savings and extended pavement lifespan.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
 To determine the self-healing of asphalt pavement incorporating glass fibres
involves exploring the effectiveness of glass fibres in enhancing the asphalt’s
ability to recover from damage.
 This research typically includes investigating factors such as crack healing,
durability,
and the overall performance of the pavement.
 The scope may encompass material characterization, laboratory testing, and
field
evaluations to assess the long-term benefits and practical application of
incorporating glass fibres for self-healing in asphalt pavements.
 MATERIALS

 Asphalt Binder

 Aggregates

 Glass Fibers

 Fillers

 Anti-Stripping Agents
 GLASS FIBRES

These are the key additive materials intended to enhance the self-healing properties

of the asphalt pavement, Glass fibres provide reinforcement and contribute to the

crack-healing capabilities of the asphalt mixture.

 FILLERS

This are often in the form of finely ground minerals like limestone or fly ash,

may be added to the asphalt mixture to improve its properties, including

durability and resistance to aging.

 METHODOLOGY OF STUDY:

Following laboratory tests have been carried out

 Penetration test.
 Ductility test.
 Softening point test.
 Specific gravity test.
 Viscosity test.
 Flash and Fire point test.
 Float test.
 Water content test.
