Using Crumb Rubber from Waste Tires to Reduce Road Traffic Noise

Abstract

The results of measurements of sound pressure levels on an experimental road section (road pavement with addition of crumb rubber from waste tires) in Mala Ida village (Kosice region, Slovakia) and on a road with stone mastic asphalt in Haniska village (Presov region, Slovakia) are presented in the paper. The results obtained using statistical pass-by methods were compared and they confirmed that road surface with addition of crumb rubber from waste tires produced quieter pavement than stone mastic asphalt road pavement alone.
