Recently, construction wastes are increasing every year. So problem of environmental pollution and lack of natural aggregate are serious, but there are no appropriate design recommendations. This paper reports limited experimental data on the structural performance of reinforced concrete beams with recycled aggregate. The variables in the test program were the existence of shear reinforcement and use of recycled aggregate. Reinforced concrete beams with natural aggregate and recycled aggregate were tested to evaluate their failure modes, shear behavior and crack pattern. Based on the experimental results, shear strength and failure mode of R/C beams with recycled aggregate were about equal to those of R/C beams with natural aggregate.
