This paper presents the analysis of the mechanical and durable properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) for using in concrete. The porosity of recycled coarse aggregates is known to influence the fresh and hardened concrete properties and these properties are related to the specific mass of the recycled coarse aggregates, which directly influences the mechanical properties of the concrete. The recycled aggregates were obtained from construction and demolition wastes (CDW), which were divided into recycled sand (fine) and coarse aggregates. Besides this, a recycled coarse aggregate of a specific mass with a greater density was obtained by mixing the recycled aggregates of the CDW with the recycled aggregates of concrete wastes (CW). The concrete was produced in laboratory by combining three water-cement ratios, the ratios were used in agreement with NBR 6118 for structural concretes, with each recycled coarse aggregates and recycled sand or river sand, and the reference concrete was produced with natural aggregates. It was observed that recycled aggregates can be used in concrete with properties for structural concrete. In general, the use of recycled coarse aggregate in combination with recycled sand did not provide good results; but when the less porous was used, or the recycled coarse aggregate of a specific mass with a greater density, the properties of the concrete showed better results. Some RAC reached bigger strengths than the reference concrete.Keywords: recycled aggregate, specific mass, concrete, properties.Este artigo apresenta as análises das propriedades mecânicas e de durabilidade de concreto com agregados reciclados (CAR) para em concreto. Sabe-se que a porosidade dos agregados reciclados influencia as propriedades frescas e endurecidas do concreto e estas propriedades estão relacionadas com a massa específica dos agregados graúdo reciclado, que diretamente influencia as propriedades mecânica do concreto. Os resíduos de construção e demolição (RCD), que deram origem aos agregados reciclados, foram separados em agregado miúdo e agregado graúdo. Também, um agregado graúdo reciclado de maior densidade foi obtido misturando o agregado reciclado do RCD com o agregado reciclado de resíduo de concreto (RC). Os concretos com agregados reciclados foram produzidos com três níveis de relação a/c, as razões foram usadas de acordo com a NBR 6118 para concretos estruturais, combinando-se cada agregado graúdo reciclado com o agregado miúdo reciclado e com uma areia natural. Concretos de referência também foram produzidos utilizando-se agregados naturais. Observou-se que CAR tem potencial para aplicação como concretos estruturais. Em termos gerais, o uso combinado dos agregados graúdos e miúdos reciclados não foi vantajoso, mas as propriedades dos CAR eram tanto melhores quanto maior a massa específica dos agregados graúdos reciclados. Alguns CAR chegaram a apresentar resistências mecânicas maiores que as de seus respectivos concretos de referência.Palavras-chave: agregado reciclado, massa específica, conc...
