Abstract A novel method for measuring the albedo of crushed-rock layer was proposed in this paper. The albedo of the crushed limestone layers with single-size aggregates of 1,2,3 and 5 cm sizes was measured respectively to reveal the main factors controlling the albedo of the crushed-rock layer. The layer was painted with the high-reflective pigment to increase the albedo of the crushed-rock layer and then the albedo of the painted layer was measured. The albedo of the crushed-rock layer was tested and compared against the albedo measured by the ASTM E1918A. It was found that when the variation of the incident solar intensity was less than 20W/m2 (tolerant errors stated by ASTM E1918A),the ASTM E1918A either underestimate or overestimate the albedo of the crushed-rock layer up to 0.00–0.03. The reflectivity of the crushed-rock layer decreases with the aggregate size,and the albedo of the crushed-rock layer is 0.10–0.25 lower than that of the fresh flat crushed-rock. This difference is because photons leaving the crushed-rock layer have a probability to return to the layer,reducing the albedo of the crushed-rock layer. Painting the crushed-rock layer with high reflective pigment raised the albedo of the layer from 0.262 to 0.433. Raising the reflectivity of the crushed-rock layer on slope of embankment reduces the temperature of side slope and protects the permafrost stratum.
