Four feet of unbalanced backfill usually will not exert sufficient pressure to damage the wall. You generally can backfill to full height at corners and offsets. A wall extending at right angles to the backfilling is the ...

 · Is crushed concrete good for backfill? One solution is to use recycled materials, such as recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and crushed concrete (CC) acquired from the local area, as an alternative backfill.This not only minimizes the cost of material transportation but also alleviates the cost of disposing of excess materials.

Because of this, many construction benefits make use of sand as their primary backfill material. Of course, not all projects are the same. In some situations, it may be better to use a combination of material that is coarse but still strong enough to support the structure. 3. It should be stable and well-compacted.

 · 16 Oct 07 17:20. I am currently working on a project where the client wants to use recycled concrete from previously demoed floor slabs and foundations as fill material and recycled asphalt as a base course. For recycled concrete, they know to remove all metal and construction debris. They say their crusher can crush the pieces into 6 inch pieces.

 · When landfills located near populated areas started refusing broken concrete in the 1970s, the construction industry started crushing it to make aggregate for use as compactible fill. Wood and steel …

 · The crushed concrete pieces are roughly golf ball to tennis ball in size and VERY VERY irregular in shape. RE: Crushed concrete backfill. civilperson (Structural) 26 Jan 07 10:52. Side wall pressures will be about the same with the angular aggregate,(crushed concrete) as with the soil. The Ko, will probably be less for the …

The objective of this study was to make use of this industrial waste as coarse aggregate in concrete. Three different types of crushed clinker brick representing 13 clinker brick-producing kilns were crushed and then tested for grading, specific gravity, bulk unit weight, water absorption, and resistance to abrasion.

This report presents the results from an experimental program aimed at evaluating the use of the crushed concrete (CC) and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) for use in mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. Various properties of RAP and CC (strength, hydraulic conductivity, pull out resistance, creep potential, corrosivity) were investigated.

 · A conventional MSE wall is built by repeating the process of compacting lifts of backfill, laying soil reinforcement on top of the fill, then compacting more fill on top. However, LDCC is poured as a liquid and requires that the soil reinforcements be located in the middle of a lift rather than at a joint in the LDCC lifts.

 · Very small amounts of cement addition, in the order of 1 to 4 percent producing pH values significantly less than 12, could cause limited acceleration of corrosion. It is, therefore, advisable to control minimum cement levels and to encourage efficient mixing. The use of crushed concrete as backfill did not accelerate corrosion.

 · Using crushed concrete is a much more environmentally-friendly way to complete your project. It not only saves landfill space, conserves …

Use a mix of crushed gravel and soil to backfill the hole around your new post - compacting the soil every 4-6 inches as you go. Dig your hole to a depth appropriate for the height of the post . Place a pre-cast concrete biscuit (block).
