Recycling waste materials is an efficient way to hinder environmental, social and economic impacts of the civil construction industry. This dissertation aimed at verifying the behavior of different concretes made of coarse recycled aggregate (AGR), mineral fractions collected from the waste (RCD) of a high- rise apartment building (multiple floor building). The RCD has been selectively collected at the building construction site and processed by a jaw crusher. The study focused on the effects of gradual replacements of coarse natural aggregate (AGN) by AGR where the fundamental properties of the fresh and hardened concretes are concerned. The experiment involved the production of three dry aggregate/ceme nt ratios: (3,5 / 1), (5 / 1) and (6,5 / 1) for each concrete family (zero%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% replacement contents of AGN by AGR), and thus 15 different concrete mix proportions were manufactured. Workability, entrapped air, and density were the variables analyzed in the fresh concretes. Furthermore, water absorption, density, total pores volume, compressive strength, splitting-tensile strength, and initial-tangent modulus were the properties studied in hardened concretes. The strengths of concretes with AGR contents are lower than those of corresponding reference concretes (zero% of replacement content of AGN by AGR). However, reductions in the cement content in mixtures of the concretes produced with AGR showed compressive and splitting-tensile strengths values nearer to those of the reference concrete family. The experiment allows for the conclusion that concretes produced from AGR of RCD can be used for several purposes in civil construction, if the management of concrete mix proportions and the control of quality are performed under the liability of capable and qualified professionals.
