Feasibility study of cement-stabilized materials using 100% mixed recycled aggregates from perspectives of mechanical properties and microstructure

The research on the highly efficient reutilization of mixed recycled aggregates (MRA) produced from construction and demolition waste has attracted significant attention globally. In this study, the feasibility of using 100% MRA in cement-stabilized materials was investigated. The mechanical propert...

description The research on the highly efficient reutilization of mixed recycled aggregates (MRA) produced from construction and demolition waste has attracted significant attention globally. In this study, the feasibility of using 100% MRA in cement-stabilized materials was investigated. The mechanical properties and microstructures of cement-stabilized MRA (CSMRA) materials containing 100% MRA were systematically examined through unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test, indirect tensile strength (ITS) test, drying shrinkage test, X-ray diffraction analysis, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that the UCS and ITS of CSMRA materials were significantly enhanced with the increase of cement content and curing age, and there was almost a linear relationship between the UCS and ITS. The failure behavior of CSMRA materials under load showed three typical stages: compaction stage, elastic stage, and yield stage. The increase of the cement content caused the drying shrinkage deformation of CSMRA to increase sharply when the cement content exceeded 4%. The microstructural analysis indicated that cement had both filling and binding effects on CSMRA materials. The strength growth with cement content and curing age was because of the constant hydration of cement minerals, producing more calcium silicate hydrate binders between aggregates. Moreover, the increasing cement content could reduce the porosity and optimize the pore structure distribution of CSMRA materials. The findings of this study demonstrate that the use of 100% MRA in cement-stabilized materials as a road base is feasible, which will significantly enhance the utilization efficiency of MRA.
