Abstract

In this paper, we studied the properties of hot mix asphalt with substituted waste glass, used for surface layers, made in accordance with standard EN 13108-1. The waste glass was sourced by overcrushing glass from old bottles and broken glass from window frames. We aimed to substitute fractions of individual and cumulative aggregate and fillers in the mineral mixture with glass. We also studied how the compaction in the Marshall’s tamper affected the overcrushing of the mineral mixture with the waste glass. Increasing the glass fraction in the asphalt mixture decreased the density, stability, and void content of the mixture, as well as the proportion of voids filled with bitumen.
