It is desired to reduce pavement high surface temperature in summer to mitigate urban heat island (UHI) effect. High surface temperature also induces high possibility of thermal cracks. The prime aim of this study was to reduce concrete pavement surface temperature by using glass beads in concrete mixture. 10%, 20% and 30% proportions of glass beads were used for this purpose. Mechanical properties of samples were examined and the optimum proportion for glass beads was determined. It was detected that highest surface temperature was reduced 10oC by using glass bead in concrete mixture. This treatment helps to mitigate heat island and reduce thermal cracks.
