This work focuses on the reuse of recycled brick waste (RBW) as aggregates in the fabrication of concrete blocks. The experimental study was focused on six different concrete compositions with a w/c ratio of 0.56, a relatively constant compactness and a slump value of zero. The six compositions consist on a control concrete with natural sand and five compositions with 10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 % and 50 % of RBW as a partial substitute for the natural sand. The physical and mechanical properties of concrete blocks were studied, analyzed and compared. The obtained results showed that it is possible to manufacture concrete blocks based on RBW, and that the compressive strengths of these concrete blocks are comparable to that of the control concrete, but with an appreciable reduction in weight. The blocks made with 30 % of RBW showed an improvement in the compressive strength of 42 % and a reduction in weight of 11 % compared to the control concretes. Keywords: recycled brick waste, concrete block, compactness, slump, mechanical strength Delo je usmerjeno v ponovno uporabo recikliranih odpadkov opeke (RBW) kot sestavina pri izdelavi betonskih zidakov. Eksperimentalno delo je bilo usmerjeno v {est razli~nih sestav betona z razmerjem w/c je 0,56, z relativno enako kompaktnostjo in brez zmanj{anja vrednosti. [est sestav je predstavljalo kontrolni beton z naravnim peskom in pet sestav z dodatkom 10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 % in 50 % RBW, kot delnim nadomestkom za naravni pesek. Prou~evane, analizirane in primerjane so fizikalne in mehanske lastnosti cementnih zidakov. Dobljeni rezultati so pokazali, da je mogo~a izdelava cementnih zidakov na osnovi RBW. Tla~ne trdnosti teh betonskih zidakov so primerljive s tistimi iz kontrolnega betona, ob~utno pa je zmanj{anje te`e. Zidaki izdelani z 30 % RBW so pokazali izbolj{anje tla~ne trdnosti za 42 % in zmanj{anje te`e za 11 %, v primerjavi z zidaki iz kontrolnega betona. Klju~ne besede: reciklirani odpadki iz opeke, betonski zidak, kompaktnost, padec vrednosti, mehanska trdnost
