This study aims to valorize non-biodegradable waste through their recycling as aggregates in concrete. Concretes made from different types of recyclates (recycled concrete, glass and tire) and natural aggregates were made and tested in compression at 28 days. A modeling test of the resistance of the various concretes to compression has been carried out. Concretes of natural granulate, recycled concrete and crushed glass have a resistance that decreases slightly with the percentage of

... It is also noted that the concrete of natural granulate and recycled concrete have substantially equal strengths. Contrariwise, the glass concrete gives a lower average strength and the used tire concrete is well below the other recyclates. The compressive strength of concrete follows an exponential mathematical law that takes into account the volume fraction, the density, and the particle size. Thus, the application and the compressive strength show that concretes based on recycled concrete can be used in construction in place of those made from natural aggregates.
