Abstract An experimental investigation was conducted to study the crack behavior of beams constructed with Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA). This experimental program consisted of 16 beams. The test parameters for this study include RCA replacement ratio and longitudinal reinforcement ratio. The flexural properties and crack behaviors of the beams were evaluated based on present design codes. It is found that the use of RCA does not cause an observable change in the progression of flexural strength and crack pattern. However, results of these statistical tests show that the RCA beams possess a larger crack width compares with the conventional beams.
