The crack potential of the pavement under various loading conditions and temperature variations has been a problem for the application of asphalt pavements. Crack generation in asphalt pavement increases the maintenance and rehabilitation costs. Two principal solutions for the problem of asphalt pav

โฆ Synopsis
The stiffness modulus is one of the most important parameters for the prediction of pavement strength against dynamic loads. Previous research indicated that glass can reduce the construction costs of asphalt concrete pavements while providing better dynamic behaviour because of its unique properties. In this research, the behaviour of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) in different temperature conditions depending on the variation of the admixture contents and the gradation of the aggregates will be evaluated. Afterwards, for the first time, models for the prediction of the stiffness modulus of waste glass-asphalt in terms of three different parameters including temperature, percentage of additives and the aggregate gradation will be presented. The results of this research are indicative of an improvement in the dynamic behaviour of glass-asphalt mixture in comparison with conventional HMA mixtures.

## In this report, we analyze the relationship between noise reduction and the thickness and aggregate size of the drainage asphalt road surface. Earlier results indicated overall noise reductions of 3-5 dB. However, noise reductions of 5-10 dB are necessary to improve the urban roadride areas of Ja
