Stiffness, rutting, and fatigue performance evaluation of cement-natural rubber latex stabilized recycled concrete aggregate
The stiffness, rutting, and fatigue performance of cement-natural rubber latex (NRL) stabilized recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) were evaluated under cyclic loading. The RCA was stabilized with 3% cement content and dry rubber content to cement (r/c) ratios at 5%, 10% and 15%. The performance evaluation was carried out through advanced experiments, including indirect tensile resilient modulus test, indirect tensile fatigue test, and rutting susceptibility test using a Hamburg wheel tracking device. The results indicated that the r/c ratio of 10% was optimum for cement-NRL stabilized RCA (3C10R-RCA), which exhibited the optimum performance in terms of permanent deformation, fatigue cracking, and rutting susceptibility. The indirect tensile fatigue life of 3C10R-RCA was found to be 79.3% greater than that of the 3% cement stabilized RCA (3C-RCA), while the rut depth of 3C10R-RCA was 8% lower. Although the resilient modulus value of 3C10R-RCA was slightly lower than that of 3C-RCA, the tensile permanent deformation was found to be lower, which is associated with the lower rut depth. As a result of the significant improvement in fatigue life and rutting performance, the resistance to fatigue cracking and premature failure of cement-NRL stabilized RCA were improved.
