This research investigated high calcium fly ash geopolymer stabilized recycled concrete aggregate (RCA-FAG) as pavement base material. The effect of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA):high calcium fly ash (FA) ratios, sodium silicate (Na2SiO3):sodium hydroxide (NaOH) ratio, and curing time on the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) properties of RCA-FAG samples were evaluated. The maximum dry unit weight of the RCA-FAG sample was 20.73 kN/m3 at RCA:FA ratio of 80:20 and Na2SiO3:NaOH ratio of 60:40. The 7-d UCS of RCA-FAG samples increased as the FA content and Na2SiO3:NaOH ratio increased. The 7-d UCS of the RCA-FAG sample was better than that of the RCA with no FA because FA particles filled in RCA particles, resulting in a dense matrix. The 7-d UCS of RCA-FAG samples passed the 7-d UCS requirement for the low-traffic road. All ingredients met the 7-d UCS requirement for the high-traffic road except the sample with RCA:FA of 100:0 and Na2SiO3:NaOH of 50:50 and 60:40. The 7-d SEM images indicated that spherical FA and RCA particles are bonded together, resulting in the dense matrix for all Na2SiO3:NaOH ratios. The proposed equation for predicting the UCS of RCA-FAG offered a good coefficient of correlation, which is useful in designing pavement base material from RCA-FAG material.
