Influence of Milled Material and Construction Waste on the Properties of a Typical Soil of Iranduba City - AM / BR

Abstract

The lack of stone material in the State of Amazonas and the possibility of using solid waste in the sublayers of pavements motivates the work in question, notably with the purpose of contributing as an alternative technical solution to the paving of the city of Iranduba / AM / BR. Compositions of soil mixed with waste from milled material (MM) and construction and demolition (CDW) were studied. The materials participating in the formulations were physically characterized, as well as the mechanical behavior of the natural soil (NS) and mixtures of soil-20% milled material (NS + 20MM) and soil-20% construction and demolition waste were determined. (NS + 20CDW). The results showed that the compositions with the participation of the milled material were the most efficient relative to the mixtures with the presence of the construction and demolition residue. It is noteworthy that both formulations, referring to natural soil, improved the expansion and presented an increase in the California Bearing Ratio, selection parameters for application in the base and subfloor layers.
