Construction and demolition wastes have been studied by technical means to develop management tools to reduce environmental impacts. Among these, recycling can be highlighted. It is also noteworthy that the technical environment does not yet have an appropriate amount of scientific work that presents the study of engineering characteristics obtained for construction waste, which, many times, makes it impossible to consider these wastes for use in civil engineering. Thus, this article demonstrates the obtaining and evaluation of engineering parameters for concrete construction wastes obtained at a C&DW Recycling Plant near São Paulo. To this end, laboratory tests were performed according to relevant technical standards for determining the following characteristics: specific weight, integrity using ultrasound, compressive strength, elasticity modulus, and absorption. The parameters obtained may serve to better characterize the waste under study, as well as initial values for the development of basic civil engineering projects with low structural responsibility.
