AB [EN] Construction and demolition waste (CDW) constitutes an increasingly significantproblem in society due to the volume generated, rendering sustainable management anddisposal problematic. The aim of this study is to identify a possible reuse option in theconcrete manufacturing for recycled aggregates with a significant ceramic content: mixedrecycled aggregates (MixRA) and ceramic recycled aggregates (CerRA). In order to do so,several tests are conducted in accordance with the Spanish Code on Structural Concrete(EHE-08) to determine the composition in weight and physic-mechanical characteristics(particle size distributions, fine content, sand equivalent, density, water absorption,flakiness index, and resistance to fragmentation) of the samples for the partial inclusion ofthe recycled aggregates in concrete mixes. The results of these tests clearly support thehypothesis that this type of material may be suitable for such partial replacements if simplepretreatment is carried out. Furthermore, this measure of reuse is in line with European,national, and regional policies on sustainable development, and presents a solution to theenvironmental problem caused by the generation of CDW.
