The disposal and management of waste resulting from construction, renovation, and demolition activities is one of the thorny problems that are prevalent in urban and rural areas of many developed and emerging countries around the world. The protection of the environment and natural resources currently represent a major socio-economic issue for geo-environmental specialists. In Algeria, one of the main objectives of protecting the environment and the ecosystem is to efficiently and effectively recycle waste from the construction industry. The recovery of construction and demolition waste (C&D) is essential and constitutes a path towards sustainable development. From this perspective, our work aims to valorize concrete waste by using it to improve the behavior of compressible soil in the Bouhanak-Tlemcen region (in the northwest of Algeria). Experimental compressibility (oedometric) tests were carried out on soil incorporating 10%, 15%, and 20% concrete waste by dry weight of the natural sample. The results showed good compressible soil response, while the impact of waste concrete is reduced.
