Popis: The French construction industry generates almost 250 million tons of mineral waste per year. This waste can be used, after preparation, to replace natural materials used for construction work. This can preserve natural resources by contributing to a circular economy. A better understanding is necessary with regards to the deconstruction waste behaviour when used in redevelopment project or construction work, as backfill or embankments. This article intends to better understand how crushing influences recycled concrete aggregates leaching behaviour. Four concrete samples were studied from French power plant deconstructions. The leaching behaviour, of different grain size classifications, was tested with standard (i.e. with size reduction
