Evaluating the crushing characteristics of recycled construction and demolition waste for use in road bases

With the increasing production of construction and demolition waste (CDW), the use of CDW as a road base has become a sustainable and eco-friendly disposal approach. The aggregate crushing value is an essential index in the construction of road bases and is defined as the mass percentage of fine particles after a confined compression test of recycled CDW. In this study, experiments and numerical simulations were conducted to evaluate the...
