Abstract
Physical characterization of recycled aggregates shows a continuous size distribution curve, lower density and higher absorption, what makes the usage of additive necessary to obtain appropriate consistency. Main crystalline phases shown in the X-ray diffraction analysis were: calcite, quartz and gypsum. According to the results of the dosages study, recycled mortars present poorer behaviour than mortars fabricated using natural stand, however, complying with the limits established by the standards and manufacturers. Therefore, the results of this study suggest the possibility to replace 100% of natural sand with analyzed recycled aggregates.
