Abstract

The introductory part of the paper is devoted to the classification of aggregates according to various criteria, one of them is the geographical origin of aggregates. From the point of view of the circular economy, the use of recycled aggregates comes to the fore, mainly from the ecological point of view but also from the economic point of view.

The paper summarizes the results of research focused on the variation of the amount of 2 Recycled concrete aggregate fractions in concrete, followed by an evaluation of the effect of the presence of recycled material in the mixture on the selected property, specifically compressive strength. The highest compressive strength 34.7 MPa after 28 days hardening reached sample containing 100% recycled fraction 4/8 mm, and 60% recycled fraction 8/16 mm. This value is only slightly different from the compressive strength of the reference sample (34.4 MPa).
