Abstract: Recycled aggregates are the construction demolition wastes which can be used in concrete industry to reduce the carbon footprint of the environment. This paper deals with the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete beam made with different percentages of recycled aggregate as coarse aggregate on a novel geopolymer concrete consist of fly ash and ferrochrome ash as binder. Structural behaviour of RCC beam with 10% and 20% recycled aggregate in geopolymer concrete are studied and compared to the 100% natural coarse aggregate. Experimental results revealed that the up to 10% replacement of recycled aggregate can achieve strength equal to control concrete and it can be the recommended percentage of RCA for concrete industry.
