The study describes an experimental program conducted on recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) paving slabs placed on a sand base course. The slabs had dimensions of 300x300x50 mm and 300x300x70 mm and were tested under a point load. The results obtained from the tests were used to determine the bearing capacity, deformation (including settlement and cracks), and failure mode of the RAC paving slabs. These findings were then used to refine theoretical formulas and propose an empirical formula for predicting the bearing capacity of RAC paving slabs on an elastic base. The study demonstrates the potential for using RAC paving slabs in urban sidewalks, pavements, and yards as an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional construction materials.
