At present, the existence of concrete will be achieved first by the challenge of its arrival, which is its sustainability for the next generations, in connection with the growing population. With the passage of time, there is an increasing deficit of non-renewable resources. Because of this, most informed people agree with the transition from a linear to a circular economy. Of course, concrete must keep up with this significant paradigm shift. What are the most important data to assess the potential for concrete recycling? Is it possible to use recycled concrete in the construction of supporting structures of buildings, and what will affect its final properties? This paper will deal with the dispersion of the mechanical characteristics of recycled concrete depending on the type of recycled aggregate and the size of the water/cement ratio.
