Abstract

The paper describes a study of hydraulically bound mixtures, composed of foundry sands and C&D aggregate, produced for use in the foundation of road pavements. The investigations involved a physical and mechanical characterisation of the individual components, followed by that of the mixtures (by means of tensile strength, compressive strength, elastic modulus etc.). The results of the tests have been compared with the requisites for acceptance of traditional hydraulic mixtures in the main italian Contract Specifications, which has demonstrated that the analysed material is suitable for use.
