Abstract
The paper presents the possibilities of use of waste aggregates in civil engineering. Laboratory tests made on recycling aggregates pointed to their higher values of water absorbability and porosity in comparison to those parameters referring to ordinary aggregates. Hydrophobic additives made the water absorbability of aggregate lower. Preliminary studies carried out on recycling aggregate concretes pointed to the possibility of recycling aggregate use for constructional concretes. Chemical additives used for concrete increased its strength and decreased its water absorbability.
