In order to prove the quality of such mass concrete recycled precast elements, twodifferent mixes were used: the first one was a conventional concrete mix provided by Prefabricadosde Hormigón Pavimentos Páramo S.L., one of the collaborating companies in this study, and theother was a mixture in which wt 50% of the natural coarse aggregates were substituted for recycledmixed aggregates ceramic (RMAc). This recycled aggregate is a heterogeneous mixture of unboundaggregates, concrete, ceramic, etc., used as a secondary recycled aggregate and commonly producedin a lot of recycling plants in many European countries. This material was supplied by Tecnologíay Reciclado S.L., the other collaborating company. Both mixtures were representative in order toestablish the comparative behavior between them, taking into account that smaller percentages ofreplacement of the natural with recycled aggregates will also produce good results. This percentage ofsubstitution represents a high saving of natural resources (gravel) and maintains a balanced behaviorof the recycled concrete, so this new material can be considered to be a viable and reliable optionfor precast mass concrete paving elements. The characterization of the recycled precast elements,covering mechanical, microstructural, and durability properties, showed mostly similar behaviorwhen compared to the analogous industrially-produced pieces made with conventional concrete.
