Flexural behavior and durability properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) beams subjected to long-term loading and chloride attacks

Three beams subjected to long-term loading and chloride attacks, with various recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement ratios of 0%, 50% and 100% respectively, were designed to investigate the effects of the RCA replacement ratio on the flexural behavior and durability properties. The results show that a higher RCA replacement ratio has a notable influence on the long-term performance of beams, leading to more chloride ion ingress, more...
