Recycling of construction and demolition waste (CDW) has become a widespread concern in Spain for the last years, as a way to preserve natural resources and achieve a better control of waste disposal sites. Specific applications which make use of mixed recycled aggregates are of great importance, as this types of aggregates constitute the majority of the total production. Structural and non-structural concrete is one of the possible applications, being this the main goal of our study. This paper presents a study on the physical and chemical characteristics of mixed recycled aggregates which have been obtained from different CDW treatment plants of Spain. Correlations between the different properties were investigated in order to find criterions of acceptance for recycled aggregates to be used in concrete. The comparison between the properties offers the possibility of pre-selecting a great quantity of mixed recycled aggregates, these being suitable for either structural and non-structural concrete. The determination of water absorption and the gypsum content are good indicators in order to evaluate the quality of the mixed recycled aggregates for its application in the production of concrete.
