摘要:Granular materials are commonly used in civil engineering applications like embankments, retaining walls, road bases and railway ballast. However, the availability of areas where natural rock can easily and economically be mined is becoming more difficult depending previous depletion of resources and environmental regulations associated with mining. This situation has pushed searching alternative materials to virgin aggregate of contractors. In this study, construction and demolition wastes taken from a structure that have low endurance against earthquake were subjected to some process and recycled. Then, its suitability of physical and mechanical properties for using as a filling material in base/subbase layer of road was investigated by laboratory tests. The results were compared with studies from different countries to examine the similarity of the wastes in Turkey. Finally, as it is seen, the waste material in Turkey has potential for using in base/subbase course of roads.
