About this eBook
Self Healing Roads explores the revolutionary concept of roads that can repair themselves, focusing on smart materials and sustainable infrastructure. This technology promises to reduce road maintenance and extend pavement lifespan, addressing the escalating costs and environmental concerns associated with traditional methods. Imagine asphalt repair happening autonomously through encapsulated rejuvenators!
The book dives into the science behind these self-healing mechanisms, discussing polymers and bio-based additives, and how they interact with engineering principles like crack propagation. The book uniquely combines material science, civil engineering, and economic analysis to present a holistic view of self-healing roads.
It showcases how proactive approaches can not only save resources but also lessen the carbon footprint of road construction. Beginning with an overview of current infrastructure challenges, the book systematically introduces self-healing materials, explores various repair mechanisms for asphalt and concrete pavements, analyzes performance through testing and simulations, and evaluates the economic and environmental feasibility of these innovative roads.
