ABSTRACT

Making of waste construction materials is increasing in many countries around the world. One of solution for omitting these materials is to use them in pavement layers. The pavement subbase layer has many significant in reduction of road construction project cost, because they use a large quantity of materials. Waste materials can be used in subbase layer and they stabilized it by lime to increase the strength of layer. One of important tasks of subbase layer is to decrease the compressive strains. The effect of these strains in subgrade soil is presented as rutting depth. In this study, the changes of rutting depths due to using from stabilized recyclables materials are examined.

Keywords: Waste Construction Material; Rutting Depth; Subbase Layer; Lime Stabilized; Material Strength; Compressive Strain.
