Due to the increased push for contractors and others to use recycled products, we are seeing more and more people wanting to use recycled concrete and asphalt as construction materials. I have done some research and have seen in other localities that those materials are being used in base materials and concrete, but I am not seeing any technical literature on the matter. What I am seeing most is a client wanting to use recycled concrete for sub-base material under pavement or under a building slab. I think that initially it would perform satisfactorily, but I am concerned about long term performance especially under a pavement where conditions change and the effect of wheel loads. Appreciate any comments or the location/title of any literature that is available.
Thanks
