| description abstract | Compressibility of recycled materials including bottom ash (BA), foundry slag (FSG), foundry sand (FSD), recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), recycled pavement material (RPM), recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), and recycled asphalt shingle (RAS) mixed with glacial outwash sand (GOS) was evaluated using one-dimensional (1D) compression tests. Results showed that except RCA, compressibility of all the compacted recycled materials is higher than that of the compacted GOS. Different compression mechanisms were attributed to each recycled material depending on the type, composition, and morphological characteristics of the particles. Bituminous recycled materials including RAP, RPM, and RAS-GOS mixtures exhibited relatively higher compressibility compared with nonbituminous recycled materials.
