Abstract
The creep deformation characteristics of recycled construction and demolition waste (CDW) filler are important factors affecting its road performance. In this paper, a series of laboratory tests are carried out on CDW filler, including gradation test, compaction test, California bearing ratio (CBR) test, and creep test, and the road performance of different ratios of recycled CDW filler is systematically studied. The mechanical properties of different ratios of CDW materials can meet the requirements of subgrade filler in the specification. Through the creep test, it can be seen that the elastic-plastic deformation speed of CDW material is fast and the duration is short. The creep deformation stage is opposite. Combined with the theoretical analysis, it is found that the t/ε-t curve under each stress level has a good linear relationship. The relationship between strain and time is hyperbolic, and the relationship between parameters A, B, and load is a power function. The creep process belongs to attenuation creep, which conforms to the Kelvin model.
