The object of this research is the use through recycling of solid waste from construction activity, to be used in the production of prefabricated elements such as masonry blocks, bricks, pavers, tiles, mortar. For the production of these ecological materials, it is necessary to develop a methodology that involves the production of recycled aggregate, the characterization (laboratory tests) of these aggregates, the design of the mixtures to be used (technical quantification of the amount of materials to be used) In this case, the method used in the research is that of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), as it is the best known and most used in the engineering environment. In the development of this research, the traditional method of trial and error is used, which consists of preparing test mixtures by means of test tubes, which comply with the characteristics of the standards and the materials to be used, to later evaluate their mechanical properties by means of the test of the compressive strength of these specimens.
