Waste management is an important issue for Côte d‟Ivoire. Among many possibilities, recycling wastes as aggregates for concrete is a solution that deserves to be evaluated. In this study four recycled aggregates are tested: crushed glass, tire cut rubber, hardened cement and fresh concrete waste. There properties are compared to those of natural aggregates.A first study is realized in Côte d‟Ivoire on glass, rubber and hardened cement. Concrete is realized and tested in compression (cylindrical 16x32 specimens). A mix with an increasing quantity of coarse aggregates is tested for each recycled material (20 %, 25 %, 30 % and 50 % in mass of fine and coarse aggregates). It is shown that the strength decreases with the replacement rate and that the decrease depends on the replacing material. The materials ranged in the following increasing order: rubber, glass, hardened cement and natural aggregates. A power law is established which gives the compressive strength as function of the mix and the materials characteristics. Analytical modeling was proposed for predincting the strength with respect to recycled aggregates size and volume.Another experiment is also made on glass and rubber, where partial replacement in increasing percentage is tested. Natural aggregates are partially replaced in the mix with the ranges of 5, 10, 20, 25 and 30 % by rubber and glass. The compressive strength is determined and a decrease is observed for the two materials. In the case of rubber a high decrease in observe with the replacement. In the case of glass a decrease occurs between 0 and 5 % replacement then the strength remains constant with the replacement rate. The third experiment is made with partial replacement of fresh recycled concrete (excess of ready-mixed concrete from concrete mixing plant which is hardened and then crushed). A plan of experiments is made which allows a polynomial law to be drawn giving the strength as a function of the recycled proportion. Other properties (Young modulus, P wave velocity, porosity, density, etc) have been determined and their relation with replacement rate computed.
