Abstract

Reusing construction and demolition wastes for geotechnical and geo-environmental purposes has already become a research hotspot. This study was carried out to evaluate the feasibility of using recycled construction and demolition wastes in a partial substitution of cement to enhance the mechanical properties of soft soil. The strength and stiffness development of two types of recycled material (RM1 and RM2), incorporated with peat and clayey soil under 7, 14, and 28 days’ curing time, was investigated based on unconfined compressive strength and free–free resonance frequency test methods. The findings demonstrated that clayey soil showed an average of 2.5 times higher strength than peat with the addition of recycled materials, regardless of the type. However, after 14 days of curing, the strength remained constant for peat soil. Moreover, it is concluded that the studied granular recycled materials could be used to replace a part of the cement content to improve the strength and stiffness properties.
