Abstract: Application of recycled materials in the building industry is essential for permanently sustainable development of each country. The use of primary sources and materials is becoming unbearable both economically and ecologically, and therefore it is necessary to seek the possibility of reuse of those materials once their durability expired. Recycling them is the most effective method for dealing with the increasing volume of waste for preservation of the environment. There is whole range of applications of recycled materials in both architectural and civil engineering. This paper is focused on the experimental program aimed at verifying selected material properties of fibre reinforced concrete in which all of the natural stone aggregates is replaced by recycled aggregates – masonry and concrete. The combination of recycled construction and demolition waste, synthetic fibres and binder creates an unusual fibre reinforced concrete; new composite, which offers a wide !
field of possible use in construction industry. The paper presents experimental program and shows results on this composite - mechanical and physical characteristics – density, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of fibre reinforced concrete. Based on a large series of acquired experimental results on different characteristics of the tested material, it can be judged on the behavior of this composite, which is sufficient enough to be used in ground structures as intended. The application of this composite material is ensured by the synthetic fibres, which along with the other components constitutes the tough structure of the composite favourable especially under tensile loading due to its high ductility.
