Abstract
This paper presents the findings of a field and laboratory evaluation on the use of recycled glass blends as unbound pavement base/ subbase materials. The parent recycled aggregates studied in this research were fine recycled glass (FRG), recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), and waste rock (WR). The geotechnical performance of the recycled aggregate blends of particular interest in this research were FRG blended with RCA (FRG/RCA) and FRG blended with WR (FRG/WR) in pavement base applications. The geotechnical performance of a trial road pavement was assessed by means of initial laboratory tests and subsequently field tests. The initial laboratory experimental program included specialized geot..
