This　paper　computationally　and　experimentally　investigated　the　microwave　healing　performance　of　graphite　(flake　graphite　and　exfoliated　graphite　nanoplatelet　(xGNP))　modified　asphalt　mixture.　The　original　fracture　energy　and　strength　were　first　measured　for　the　modified　asphalt　mixture　through　the　disk　shaped　compact　tension　test.　Then　the　micro-wave　healing　performance　(recovered　fracture　energy　and　strength)　were　further　examined.　All　these　were　enhanced　with　the　added　carbon　materials.　The　recovered　fracture　strengths　were　also　compared　with　FE　cohesive　zone　model　(CZM)　simulation　with　digital　image　correlation　(DIC)　calibrated　parameters.　The　predicted　recovered　fracture　strength　had　good　agreement　with　the　experimental　measurement.　(C)　2018　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
