 	abstract = "Due to their low implantation costs and constructive speed, gabions are commonly used for hydraulic channel linings. However, these gabions are filled with natural materials like rocks. In most cases, these gabions are not used for structural purposes, so the use of rocks for filling them is unnecessary and could be substituted by other materials. Civil construction is responsible for generating large amounts of solid wastes. Many authors notice that the construction and demolition wastes can range 50 to 70% urban solid waste total amount generation worldwide. In some situations, these wastes are usually dumped in improper areas, illegal landfills, and riverbanks. The improper management of construction and demolition wastes (C&DW) affects public health and causes the deterioration of urban areas. Many researchers have been studying recycling, and reuse as essential tools for C&DW management in civil construction works. C&DW recycling and reusing generally allow purchasing cost reduction and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Facing it, this research is focused on the technical study of C&DW using for gabion filling, pointing out this material as a technical solution concerning sustainability aspects. Solid waste reduction techniques are crucial, especially when the environmental impacts caused by buildings constructions are brought to light. To obtain the necessary data for further analysis, laboratory tests were performed to obtain C&DW and natural rock physical and hydraulic characteristics such as durability and water absorption, necessary for gabion designs. In addition, an economic assessment was performed to assess the purchasing costs for the substitution of rocks for C&DW for gabion filling. The obtained data and the performed analysis showed that the studied C&DW sample met the technical standards and can be used as gabion filling material. The economic assessment brought to light the economic advantages and low costs of substituting rocks for C&DW for gabions filling.",
