When the California Bearing Ratio of subgrade is checked to be below a certain percentage (e.g. 5%), a capping layer is normally provided to reduce the effect of weak subgrade on the structural performance of the road. It also provides a working platform for sub-base to be constructed on top in wet weather condition because...
Concrete has been the rock star of modern architecture: it is strong, versatile, and durable, able to withstand natural and environmental disasters.However, it has a downside: it is highly contaminating, one of the leading causes of CO 2 emissions and debris, not to mention its financial cost. Fortunately, the advances in technology have taken us very …
Concrete capping is a technique used in construction to apply a layer of concrete over an existing structural component. This process not only creates a flat, level surface but also …

Capping layer (Granular) material. For the pavement model tests conducted in this study, a standard base material (crushed rock) known as 'Type 2.1' gravel, as defined by the MTRS05: unbound granular specification of the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR), was obtained from a quarry in Queensland, …
The design of a scheme should enable the maximum use to be made of the material available on the site for capping layer, sub-base or roadbase by using a permitted binder. In addition, the use of construction materials from sources that maximise the amount of recycled materials is strongly encouraged.
What is Recycled Concrete Aggregate? Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) — also called "crushed concrete" — is made up of asphalt debris from other construction projects that can be reused to create driveways, pathways, garden beds and more.. When any concrete structure, road, sidewalk or parking lot is destroyed, that …
Application of recycled concrete aggregates for stabilization of clay reinforced with recycled tire polymer fibers and glass fibers ... [63], backfills around culverts [57], constituent of soil nail grout [33], railway capping layer [64], and geobag wall systems [65]. More recently, RCA has been applied as a cementitious binding agent in lieu ...
Nevertheless, the load-carrying and performance requirements of the rigid top layer still generally limit the use of RCA for concrete pavement, at least to a tolerable content of 50% for satisfactory performance. This is after proper processing to eliminate impurities and ensure good quality of RCA.
Use of RCA in the rigid top layer. Rigid pavement, or concrete pavement, is a hydraulically bound top layer. Usually, its performance is set by minimum requirements …
The permanent deformation behavior of granular materials governs the overall performance of railway track substructures. This article evaluates the cyclic behavior of construction and demolition (C&D) aggregates, namely recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and crushed brick (CB) blended with recovered plastic (RP) as railway capping layer …
Recycled concrete means that you crush or pulverize the demolished concrete structure or structural elements and reuse the crushed concrete for future concrete construction works. Now, this process requires a serious of procedural steps and cannot be casually taken for granted. The aim of recycling concrete is not just to …
Why Use Capping? Capping is the traditional . method for isolating landfill wastes and contaminants. It sometimes is used to address large volumes of soil or waste with low-levels of contamination. Caps made of asphalt or concrete, or even a layer of soil planted with grass, can allow some sites to be reused. Caps have been selected for use at
The materials most commonly used in a capping layer are crushed rock, hardcore or a hydraulically bound mixture. Because the grading of the material in a capping layer doesn't need to be particularly tightly controlled, the material can usually be sourced locally. This means that capping layers are usually relatively cheap to install.
Juveria et al. combined recycled concrete aggregate and tire rubber stabilized with slag, finding that the mixtures met the requirements for pavement base layers. Stabilization allowed higher ...

This article evaluates the cyclic behavior of construction and demolition (C&D) aggregates, namely recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and crushed brick (CB) blended with recovered plastic (RP) as railway capping …
If concrete or asphalt is used, managing the run off is essential to avoid flooding the surrounding area. ... Capping layers can be transformed into an attractive feature in a short space of time by using the drainage layer to plant vegetation. The capping system design is easily adapted to suit different ground conditions, climates, …
Recycled aggregate 75mm down to dust particle size Description: Recycled aggregate for use in a wide range civil engineering applications such as embankments, fill materials capping and sub-base for paving areas. 6F5 is a recycled aggregate that is made up of crushed hardcore materials including crushed concrete.
This article presents a comprehensive review on the use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) in construction, …
In this research, two types of demolition waste, namely, Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) and Crushed Brick (CB), were studied in comparison to two Conventional Capping Materials (CCMs), which ...
Another approach involves the use of granular WTRs as additives in railway concrete sleepers or ballast layers. In this case, the performance of the reinforced components is governed by the rubber size distribution and percentage. ... Placement of rubber tire-confined capping layer as a subballast layer ... Use of recycled rubber …
Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is a new type of concrete produced using crushed, screened, and washed recycled aggregate obtained from waste concrete to replace …
The use of recycled aggregates for concrete production is regulated through the European existing standards, and it is limited to the coarse recycled concrete …

Mohammadinia et al. [81] utilized plastic wastes alongside recycled concrete and recycled brick in the construction of railway capping layers. The outcome from the study indicated that the ...
clear that crushed concrete can be considered for use as a Type 1 granular sub-base material. In this field trial, both materials were used for the upper 110 mm of the capping layer below the limestone sub-base, as use of crushed concrete in a sub-base layer was not allowed. The limestone when laid had a
The results of this study verify that a capping layer confined with recycled rubber tire cells can actively reduce ballast degradation and particle movement within the track substructure.
Soils and Stone can supply two different graded granular fills: 6F4 and 6F5. These materials typically contain crushed concrete, recycled asphalt and possibly crushed brick. 6F1/6F4 (formerly 6F1 Recycled) is a finer capping layer that is used in the same way as 6F5 but with a finer grading. 6F4 is generally 31.5mm to dust.
