Long-Term Deformation Analysis of Recycled Construction Waste Subgrade Filler by Zhe Li, Shihao Yan, Lulu Liu, Baosen Dai, Wenjing Dong

“…The creep tests were carried out for about 500 days by a self-made consolidation creep instrument, the creep type of recycled construction waste filler under the test load is stable creep, as the load increases, not only the creep deformation increases but also the time to reach creep stability is longer, and the breakage and compaction of particles are the main reasons for long-term deformation. Through measurement and analysis, it is found that the settlement stability of the construction waste subgrade takes a long time; after the operation of road, the settlement of the subgrade has grown rapidly. …”
