Abstract

AbstractExtensive amounts of natural quarry aggregates are currently being used in road and pavement applications. The use of construction and demolition (C&D) materials such as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), crushed brick (CB), and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) as an alternative to quarry aggregates has generated interest in recent years, particularly as a pavement base or subbase material. However, the resilient moduli responses and performance of these C&D materials reinforced with geogrids under repeated loads have yet to be established. This research investigates the resilient moduli (MR) and permanent deformation characteristics of C&D materials reinforced with biaxial and triaxial geogrids with the use of repeated load triaxial (RLT) equipment. The effects of varying deviatoric stress on the resilient modulus of unreinforced and geogrid-reinforced C&D materials were also investigated. Regression analyses of resilient modulus test results were performed using the two- and three-parameter mode...
