Resilience modulus of brick Waste-Soil mixtures under large-scale cyclic tests

This study evaluates the effect of brick-based construction and demolition waste (CDW) on the resilient modulus (RM) of soil mixtures subjected to low-frequency dynamic loading. Full-scale cyclic plate load tests were conducted on mixtures containing 0–70 % CDW by volume, simulating subgrade conditi...

Description
Summary:This study evaluates the effect of brick-based construction and demolition waste (CDW) on the resilient modulus (RM) of soil mixtures subjected to low-frequency dynamic loading. Full-scale cyclic plate load tests were conducted on mixtures containing 0–70 % CDW by volume, simulating subgrade conditions for low-volume roads. The results revealed that mixtures with 20–40 % CDW exhibited significant improvements in RM, particularly under moderate loading conditions. The findings support the potential reuse of CDW as a sustainable material in pavement subgrades, with implications for material selection in rural infrastructure projects.
