Abstract

With the development of the urbanization and demolition in recent years in China, the amount of construction and demolition waste has annually increased rapidly. In consideration of the successful application of construction and demolition waste, this study aims to enhance the content of recycled aggregate and evaluate the performances of cement stabilized mixture with recycled aggregate from construction and demolition waste. Two types of recycled aggregates based on two processing techniques, stationary processing, large-scale processing, and four contents (20%, 30%, 50%, and 100%) were selected. The performances of cement stabilized mixture with recycled aggregate were evaluated through mechanical performance test, freeze–thaw test, scour test, drying shrinkage test and fatigue performance test. The results indicated that the large-scale processing technology was helpful to improve the content of recycled aggregate. Under the premise of the same mixture composition, the unconfined compressive strength, indirect tensile strength, and compression modulus of resilience exhibited non-linear increase with age. With the increase in the amount of construction waste recycled materials, the frost resistance of cement stabilized recycled mixtures weakened. The large-scale processing technology was helpful to improve the content of the recycled aggregate, benefit to reduce the shrinkage coefficients, and slightly enhanced the anti-scouring ability of the mixture. The cement stabilized recycled aggregate mixture with recycled aggregate had lower mechanical sensitivity than that of the mixture without recycled aggregate, while the mechanical sensitivity increased with the increase of the recycled aggregate.
