The objective of this article is to investigate the effect of the vibration mixing process (VMP) on the performance of cement stabilized recycled aggregate (CSRA). The ordinary mixing process (OMP) was also used for comparative analysis with the VMP. The performance of CSRA with different cement content was tested and comprehensively analyzed by the unconfined compressive strength test, dry shrinkage test, and temperature shrinkage test. The results showed that compared with OMP, VMP can greatly improve the compressive strength, dry shrinkage, and temperature shrinkage properties of CSRA. The optimum parameters of vibration time and vibration frequency in VMP were 30 s and 40 Hz, respectively. The reason why VMP can improve the performance of CSRA was that VMP strengthened the aggregate and interface transition zone and introduced microbubbles to optimize the pore structure.
