INTRODUCTION
For environmental and other reasons the number of readily accessible
disposal sites for waste products around major cities in the world have
decreased in recent years. On the other band, both the disposal volume and
maximum sizes of wastes have been getting bigger every yeat. Moreover, the
distance between the demolition sites and the disposal areas is inereasing as
‘well as the transportation cost is becoming higher. It has been estimated that
approximately 7 million tons of concrete are currently demolished each year in
Korea! OF which about 2 t0 3 million tons is available for recycling on some
scale, It is estimated that between now and the year 2010, two times more
demolished concrete than today will be generated cach year
1m the laboratory it has been found that compressive, tensile, and flexural
swength of recycled-aggregate concrete ean be equal to ot higher than that of,
‘original concrete when the recycled-aggregate concrete is made with the same
‘or lower water-cement ratio than the conventional concrete”, Although these
characteristics are very desirable, very limited information is available to the
structural engineer about the structural properties of recycled aggregate
cconezetes,
‘A substantial amount of research work on shear had been done from 1950
to the early 1960s. Since 1963, the investigations on the shear capacity of
structural concrete have concentrated on normal conventional concrete and,
hence information on recycled aggregate concrete is practically nonexistent.
‘There is @ need to develop information on the structural behavior of recycled
rggregate coneretes 10 insure proper and adequate use of this material in
‘construction. With the commercial availability of recycled aggregate concretes,
‘many questions have been raised regarding the applicability of the design
provisions stipulated in ACI 318-99", Many of the design parameters and
‘equations in ACI 318-99 were derived from results of experimental research
programs using conventional concrete, Therefore, itis reasonable to question

‘whether many of the design provisions in ACI 318-99 are applicable or
appropriate for reinforced conerete beams made with eeycled-ageregate
‘The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate the shear behavior of
reinforced recyeled-aggregate concrete beams; (2) 0 study the shear capacity of
reinforced concrete beams made with reeyeled-aggregates and (3) t0 study the
validity of the currently used ACI recommendations for V; forthe shear design
of structural elements made with recycled-aggregate conerotes. These three
objectives were achieved by condueting a test program consisting of 12 beams.
Six beams had no web tcinforcement, and the other six beams had web
reinforcement along the entire length of the beam. The variables studied in this
investigation are shear spanvdepth ratio afd; aggregate types; and shear (web)
reinforcement ratio py
EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM
‘The experimental variables were the shear-spanfdepth ratio ald=1.5, 2.
3, and 4J; aggregate types (natural, washed recycled, and non-washed recycled
aggregatel; and percentage of shear reinforcement [p,= 0, 0.089, 0.244, 0.507,
and 0.823 percent).
Description of beam specimens
‘The summary of the testing program and the specimen details are
presented in Table | and Fig. 1, All 12 beams were 170 mm wide and 300 mm
deep with an effective depth of 270 mm. Bach beam is designated to indicate
aggregate type, shear span/depth ratio, and shear reinforcement percentage.
‘Tae fist letter indicates aggregate types: R for the washed recycled
aggregate, NR for the non-washed recycled aggregete, or C for the nator
aggregate. The fist number indicates the sheat-spanidpth ratio aid. Six beams
were Type Ny which did not have any shear reinforcement, and the other six
were Type W, whieh had shear reinforcement in the form of stops. Two-
legged vertical closed tics, anchored inthe compression zone by 138-deg hooks,
were used as shear reinforcement.
‘The percentage of shear reinforcement were O(N), 0.089(1), 0.2442),
0.5075), and 0.823(8)percent respectively, The tensile steel ratio was kept
constant at 1.11 pescent for the test beams without web ceinforcement and 2.21
percent for the beams with wed reinforcement, The reinforcement on the
tension side consisted of four 13 mm diametcr deformed bars, as shown in Fig
|. These bars were anchored by 180 deg hooks bent and dimensioned according
to the requirements of ACI 318-99",
Dye to the small concrete side covers around the hooks, tics. were
provided between the supports andthe ends of the beams. The reinforcement on
the compression side consisted of two 10mm diameter deformed bers506 Hanetal.

Ordinary portland cement (Type 1) was used with natural sand having a
fineness modulus of 2.87. The coarse recycled aggregale was crushed waste
concrete with maximum size of 25mm. The properties of the aggregates are
presented in Table 3. The workability of the mixture was improved by using a
high-range water-reducing admixture (superplasticizer), Measured conercte
strength was based on an average of three specimens. Cylindrical specimens,
300mm high and 150mm in diameter, were used to determine the compressive
and splitting tensile strengths, All beams and control specimens were cast and
cured under similar conditions. The curing condition of specimens was kept
covered with polyethylene sheets until 24hr before testing at 28 days to prevent
‘moisture loss.
Fig. 3 shows typical stress-strain responses and the average yield
strengths for the two different sizes of the reinforcing bars used in the
specimens.
‘Test procedure
‘The beams were simply supported and subjected to a two-point load, as
shown in Fig. I(a). The distance between the two-point loads was Kept constant
‘at 540mm, The beam vertical deflection and the strains at the top and bottom
faces of the beam at its midspan were measured, Five intemal strain gages were
slucd to the main reinforcement to measure the tensile strain of the reinforcing
bats, and two extemal strain gage was glued to the surface of the conerete t0
‘measure the bi-axial strain,
‘The two-point loads were applied to the beams by a S00-kN hydraulic
testing machine. Initially, the beam was loaded in increments of 10kN until the
loud reached ISOKN. At higher loads, a ram rate of 2.0-mn/min was used.
Close to failure, the load increments were approximately 10 to 2SKN. After
fare each beam was photographed to show the eack pate andthe mode of
failure.
RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION
‘Test results from the 12 beams are presented in Table 4, This includes
the experimentally observed values for shear at eracking, at ultimate, and the
values predicted by ACI Bq(11.3)" and Zsutty’s Equation. The reported
values for cracking are at the slage when the critical inelined crack crosses the
mmidheight of the beam. The discussion of the test results is divided into three

major sections = (1) evack pattems and failure mode, (2) lond-dflection
behavior and (3) predicted shear capacities.
Crack patterns and failure mode
‘The crack patterns at ultimate for the six beams without web
reinforcement and six beams with web reinforcement are shown in Fig, 4. The
failure characteristics of the recycled-aggregate concrete beam without shear
reinforcement are as follows.
‘The first flexural crack was observed at the bottom end of the flexural
span as shown in Fig, 4, Initial crack propagation outside the pure moment
region is similar to flexural cracking. However, inclined cracking then began
due to the presence of increasing shear stresses as the load increased. For ull
beams. failure occurred due to the propagation of these eracks toward the
vicinity of the point load at the compression face ofthe beam,
‘The crack pattems for beams without web reinforcement show that the
angle of critical inclined crack with the horizontal axis decreases. with
Increasing ald. It was also observed that for beams with the same ald, more
inclined cracks occurred for beams with web reinforcement compased to beams
without web reinforcement. The crack patterns for beams with web
reinforcement show that the shear crack width was smaller in the specimens
with larger amounts of shear reinforcement.
While comparing beams without web reinforcement, and with different
types of aggregate, ic. R2.0-N, NR2.0,N, and C2.0N, it can be seen that all the
‘beams had similar failure mode, The test trend indicates that there was almost
negligible effect of the aggregate type on the failure mode. This means that the
fhilure mode of reinforced concrete beams made with recycled-aggregate is
similar to that of conventional reinforced concrete beams. However, differences
in the texture of the cracks were also observed during testing, In ease of
recycled-azgregate concrete beams, the cracks became smoother and jagged
due to reduced strength differences between the aggregate and the concrete
matrix,
Load-deflection behavior
To a large extent, the behavior of a concrete beam subjected to bending
and shear is affected by the shear-spanidepth ratio ald. It is generally accepted
that when ald is greater than 2.5, the flexural effects will dominate, while the
‘mode of failure is likely to be one of shear with lower values of afd.
As shown in Table 4 and Fig. 5(a), there is little difference in shear
strength for beams with ald from 3.0 to 4.0. However, the shear sirengih
increased sharply when afd decreased below 2.50. The higher shear capacities
of the short beams were due to arch action that must have developed in those
beams, While comparing beams, which have the same shear-span/depth ratio
but different types of aggregate, Fig. 5(b) and (¢), it can be seen that the508 Han et al.
Conventional concrete beam had more ductile response in terms of load
eflection. This trend is primarily duc to the larger effective aggregate interlock
‘mechanism.
For the beams with web reinforcement (Fig, 5(d)), the V; reaches a
‘maximum value at a load prior to the ultimate load of the beam. After the load
at which the concrete reaches its maximum resistance in shear, the concrete
redistibutes the load (o the stirup. At this stage of loading, widening of the
diagonal cracks was also observed. ‘This phenomenon of stress redistribution
and the capacity of concrete to withstand shear even after reaching the
‘maximum shear capacity suggesis a ductile behavior may include in a way the
strength of the aggregate interlock mechanism.
While comparing beams, which have the same shear-spankiepth ratio
but different shear reinforcement ratios, Fig. 5(@), it can be seen that the beam
With the larger amount of shear reinforcement has a stiffer and more ductile
response in the posteracking stage,
