Conductive asphalt concrete is a functional composite that is composed of regular asphalt concrete and a certain amount
of conductive components. In this paper, conductive asphalt concrete has been prepared by adding graphite and carbon
fiber to regular asphalt concrete. The combination function of graphite and carbon fiber has obvious advantages in the
conductivity improvement. Mechanical characteristics of conductive asphalt concrete have been specially studied by
indirect tensile test, which includes indirect tensile strength (ITS), indirect tensile resilient modulus (ITRM) and indirect
tensile fatigue (ITF) tests. The ITS test results indicate that conductive asphalt concrete shows higher values of indirect
tensile strength than regular asphalt concrete, but lower values of indirect tensile strength ratio. Then, we conclude from
ITRM test that the addition of conductive components increases indirect tensile resilient modulus of asphalt concrete.
Furthermore, the results of ITF test show that fatigue life (load cycle times) of conductive asphalt concrete have been
enhanced compared to regular asphalt concrete at higher stress levels.
