Resilient moduli of demolition wastes in geothermal pavements: Experimental testing and ANFIS modelling

Abstract

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste materials have been used in a wide range of civil engineering applications, particularly as unbound pavement materials. A comprehensive understanding of the deformation and thermal properties of C&D materials is necessary for their usage in novel applications related to heat transfer in pavement unbound layers, such as geothermal pavements. This research study focused on developing a correlation between the resilient modulus (MR) and thermal conductivity of C&D materials for geothermal pavement applications. The thermal conductivity of C&D materials, namely recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), crushed brick (CB), reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), and was..
