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. / Para minimização significativa dos impactos sócio-ambientais e econômicos provocados com o entulho gerado pela indústria da construção civil, a reciclagem destes resíduos apresenta-se como caminho alternativo e eficiente. Mediante esta perspectiva, buscou-se nesta dissertação verificar o comportamento de concretos produzidos com agregado graúdo reciclado (AGR), proveniente das frações minerais contidas no entulho (RCD) de um edifício de múltiplos pavimentos, a partir de coleta seletiva na obra e posterior beneficiamento do material em sistema de britagem. Foram estudados os efeitos de substituições gradativas do agregado graúdo natural (AGN) por AGR de RCD, nas propriedades fundamentais dos concretos, tanto no estado fresco quanto no estado endurecido. Para o desenvolvimento experimental foram produzidos concretos em três proporções de dosagem: (1 : 3,5), (1 : 5,0) e (1 : 6,5) (cimento : agregados secos), e cinco teores de substituição (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% e 100%) do AGN por AGR, totalizando, desde modo, 15 proporções de dosagem estudadas. A trabalhabilidade, teor de ar aprisionado e massa específica foram as propriedades estudadas nos concretos em estado fresco. As propriedades avaliadas no estado endurecido dos concretos foram absorção de água, massa específica, índice de vazios, resistência à compressão axial, resistência à tração por compressão diametral e módulo de deformação. As resistências dos concretos produzidos com teores de AGR apresentaram-se inferiores aos correspondentes concretos de referência 0% de teor de substituição do AGN por AGR. Entretanto, na proporção em que se reduziu o consumo de cimento nas dosagens, os concretos produzidos com AGR apresentaram valores de resistências à compressão e à tração mais próximos aos resultados aferidos para os concretos de referência. Os experimentos conduziram a concluir que, tanto do ponto de vista técnico quanto econômico, os concretos produzidos com AGR de RCD podem ser normalmente utilizados na construção civil, desde que as dosagens das misturas e o controle de qualidade destes concretos sejam realizados sob responsabilidade de profissionais comprovadamente habilitados e especializados.

This diploma thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The is a review om the topic of recycled asphalt pavement and recycled concrete and their possible use in road construction in the theoretical part. The individual chapters deal with describing these materials, their production, and their use in construction layers of pavements. In the next chapters the attention is also paid to their problematic features and foreign experience using these materials in pavements. In the practical part, laboratory samples of recycled asphalt pavement and recycled concrete and their mixtures with cement are tested. The main purpose is to verify the applications of these mixtures of recycled asphalt pavement and recycled concrete in the bonded base layers of the pavement. Another purpose is to compare how these mixtures individual properties with different proportions of both components and different amounts of cement will be different. In the end, the two mixtures with the best properties was selected and the modulus of elasticity was experimentally determined for the possibility of replacing the currently used base layers and the economic evaluation of this design was made.
