Three　beams　subjected　to　long-term　loading　and　chloride　attacks,　with　various　recycled　coarse　aggregate　(RCA)　replacement　ratios　of　0%,　50%　and　100%　respectively,　were　designed　to　investigate　the　effects　of　the　RCA　replacement　ratio　on　the　flexural　behavior　and　durability　properties.　The　results　show　that　a　higher　RCA　replacement　ratio　has　a　notable　influence　on　the　long-term　performance　of　beams,　leading　to　more　chloride　ion　ingress,　more　severe　steel　corrosion　and　cracking　damage,　and　lower　flexural　capacity.　The　maximum　chloride　content　and　steel　corrosion　are　observed　near　the　loading　points　because　of　the　complicated　stress　fields　induced　by　bending　and　shear　in　these　regions.　©　2021　Elsevier　Ltd
