Recycled clay masonry blended with crushed concrete for unbound granular pavement construction

Sustainable engineering has seen increased use of recycled construction and demolition waste (C&D) in the production of engineering materials. Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and recycled crushed clay masonry (RCM) can be used as unbound pavement material thereby saving natural resources. While this may be already common practice in some countries, it is relatively new in Australia. In this research project, the feasibility of using blends of RCA with RCM in pavement construction has been evaluated. Two products from different South Australian suppliers were blended to form the recycled product; 20 mm RCA base material and 20 mm RCM. The proportion by dry mass of RCM was 10%, 20% and 30% of the total aggregate mass.
