Abstract

In India, the scarcity of construction materials has been resulted from significant infrastructure development operations taking place in both rural and urban areas. The pavement industry is exploring ways to improve lower-quality recycled materials that are often used in road construction. The stabilization of these recycled materials with cement is considered to be one of the most common and widely used techniques to enhance mechanical properties. Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) and crushed brick (CB) aggregates are abundantly available recycled materials, and their use in road construction and maintenance is a sustainable and environmentally friendly process. In the current study, different proportions of various recycled materials (RAP, RCA, and recycled unbound aggregates) 0% to 100%, blended with different percentages of virgin aggregates were studied and the same mixes were stabilized with different cement contents varying from 0% to 10% for both base and sub-base layers has been investigated. Compaction characteristics and performance tests like unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of the same were investigated. Analysis has been performed on the collected UCS data of various recycled aggregates stabilized with different cement content.
