Resumo: A report about the current industry standards of technological, economic and legal development for the recycling and reuse of civil construction waste (CCW). The use of CCW, such as recycled aggregate inserted into concrete, is still in its initial stages in Brazil [. This paper's main objective was to evaluate the quality of concrete produced using different amounts, or fractions, of recycled concrete aggregate RCA from the residues of demolition wastes RDW from UFRJ's university hospital, located at its Rio de Janeiro campus. These residues had the dimensions of crushed gravel, and were inserted into a mix of conventional concrete for making interlocking concrete paving, based on the characterization of the recycled aggregates and mechanical tests, carried out on laboratory produced cylindrical specimens of concrete, contributing to the increase in the recycling of cement and concrete in Brazil.
