This design is based on adjusting the cross-section’s geometry of the reinforced recycled aggregate concrete beam in a way that it is capable of withstanding the same durability-related service life, similar load bearing capacity and within the same limits for deflection according to the serviceability limit state as per EC2. The design of a reinforced concrete beam was made as one would normally do for conventional concrete, by using practical performance-based rules based on a wide literature review to predict the mechanical and durability-related performance of recycled aggregate concrete. This paper presents a step-by-step design of a structural concrete element containing recycled aggregates in accordance with Eurocode 2 (EC2).
