Flexural beam fatigue strength evaluation of crushed brick as a supplementary material in cement stabilized recycled concrete aggregates

Abstract

In recent years, efforts have been made by various researchers to explore the sustainable use of Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials as a construction material in civil engineering applications. Recycled crushed brick is a commonly found material from demolition activities and works to date on this material in pavement applications have been limited to its usage in unbound pavement layers. This research was undertaken to evaluate the performance of crushed brick as a supplementary material in cement stabilized recycled concrete aggregates. An extensive suite of tests were undertaken on the crushed brick and recycled concrete aggregate blends stabilized with 3% cement. The laboratory ..
