The contact between the tread block and the pavement
causes adhesion between the tread block and pavement.
When the tread block exits the contact patch, the
adhesive force holds the tread block. The release of the
tread block causes both sound energy and vibration of
the tire carcass

Asphalt mixtures
1.Porous Asphalt Pavement
Porous pavements- constructed by reducing the amount of
small aggregate
Porosity reduces the strength of the air pumping

sizes of 5.6 mm
The typical air void content of SMA mixtures is
between 1.5 and 3.0%, and the layer thickness is
between 2 and 3 cm.
The mixtures have both good mechanical performance
and friction properties, and are applicable for a normal
traffic load;

CONCLUSIONS
Quiet pavement that is safe, durable and economical has
been demonstrated to be possible with current technology
The variation of available materials and construction
techniques among the states mean that there is no general
guideline available yet for design of quiet pavement
The highway design engineer will need to select from
locally available pavement type and texture that will
provide noise reduction using the principles described.
