Geotechnical Properties of Lightly Stabilized Recycled Demolition Materials in Base/Sub-Base Applications
Conventionally, high quality quarry materials are used for base and sub-base materials of the pavements. Traditional road building materials are becoming scarce in some regions. Moreover, rate of consumption of high strength aggregates is increasing rapidly in different industries. The use of traditional quarry materials at current rate of consumption is unsustainable from both environmental and cost perspective. The engineering characteristics of various cement-treated recycled Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials obtained from extensive laboratory testing are presented in this paper. Unconfined Compression Strength (UCS) tests shows that cement treated recycled material can be considered satisfactorily as a pavement base or sub-base material in the field. The Laboratory result shows that conditions of temperature and humidity curing play a very important role in strength development in cement-treated materials. The Los Angeles abrasion loss tests indicated that the cement treated recycled materials are durable.
