In order to achieve the reuse of waste concrete, the hydrothermal synthesis of low-temperature calcined calcium silica products with an ideal admixture of fly ash and waste concrete as raw materials was investigated and various properties were studied. The findings suggest that the optimal method involves adding 10% fly ash to waste concrete to lower the temperature at which calcium carbonate decomposes. The compressive strength of the specimens generally increases with increasing calcium–silicon ratio and pressure can reach up to 43.98 MPa. Nevertheless, the duration of holding requires adjustment in line with autoclave pressure: the higher the pressure, the shorter the holding time, and vice versa for lower pressure. Most of the specimens are water-resistant with softening coefficients above 0.6 and up to 0.91. The macroscopic strength is determined by the way in which the microstructure of the hydration products forms under different conditions. The optimum design for the experimental conditions should be that the pressure, holding time and calcium–silica ratio should be 1.0 MPa, 9 h and 1.0, respectively. Due to their potential for resource conservation and environmental improvement, autoclaved silicate materials manufactured from waste concrete may be a viable alternative as a green construction material.
