Flexural behavior of reinforced recycled aggregate concrete beams

Based on a large number of the related t results from published literature,a review of the flexural behaviour of reinforced recycled aggregate concrete beams was presented,including the applicability of the plane section assumption for reinforced recycled aggregate concrete beams,the failure mode,the flexural bearing capacity,and the deformation as well as the stiffness of reinforced recycled aggregate concrete beams.It was found that the plane section assumption is applicable for reinforced recycled aggregate concrete beams.Compared with normal concrete beams,the failure mode and the flexural bearing capacity of reinforced recycled aggregate concrete beams are similar,however,the deformation is somewhat larger and the stiffness is smaller.
