Abstract :
Recycled waste glasses that were used in Light-reflecting pavement can make great effect on the Environmental Protection, Traffic Guiding and landscape. This paper attends to study the practicability and performance of the mixed Glass-asphalt concrete by laboratory test of Glass-asphalt concrete with some of the fine aggregate is substituted with crushed glass material. By MMLS3 water immersion test, it is validated of the Long-term performance of Glass-asphalt concrete such as the high temperature stability, strength and resistance against water damage and effect of light-reflecting. The research has demonstrated that the optimal asphalt content and the performance of Glass-asphalt concrete will decrease with the increasing of waste glass materials the recycling and use of waste glass in asphalt concrete is feasible.
