ABSTRACT<br />
With the perspective of reducing environmental impacts, which are generated by extraction of<br />
resources need by civil construction, new alternatives are being using. The natural sand is an<br />
example of these non-renewable resources, but its extraction attack the environment causing<br />
the modification of original rivers channel. Therefore it´s necessary to search new alternatives<br />
that replace the natural sand as the natural fine aggregate which is used in mortar and<br />
concrete. The purpose of this study is to present some physical characteristics, advantages and<br />
viability for the use of fine aggregate which one derives from the crushing process of coarse<br />
aggregate. The production and usage of this kind of sand reduces the environmental impact<br />
and shows an economic viability because it´s generated in crushing stations and also reduces<br />
the freight costs at end use. The current work shows the study for utilization of crushed fine<br />
aggregate, using three different samples of aggregate from southwest of Parana state, in full<br />
replace of natural fine aggregate in the production of concrete and conventional Portland<br />
cement. To prove the technical and economy viability of usage of fine crushed fine aggregate<br />
it was analyzed the characteristics of aggregate as particle size composition, index of particle<br />
size material and its behavior in the Slump Test using a predefined consistency. A watercement<br />
relation was stipulate<strong>da</strong>s usual concrete with expected resistance of 30 Mpa. With<br />
these <strong>da</strong>ta it´s was defined a concrete recipe using 100% of crushed fine aggregate. The<br />
research shows the results of resistance to simple compression of two cylindrical samples of<br />
concrete in the 7 th and 14 th <strong>da</strong>ys. It was verified that the samples didn´t show neither<br />
significant difference in the resistance among them nor difference in the resistance compared<br />
with usual concrete produced with natural fine aggregate. However one sample shows a better<br />
performance in the analyzed aspects having a better relation cost/benefit.<br />
