ABSTRACT
The use of indigenous and ecofriendly materials in development of concrete is active area of research to save the environment from negative impacts of primary processes of conventional ingredients of concrete. The use of such materials will lead towards the economy of the project if treated at industrial level. In this research article recent developments regarding the flexural behavior of concrete using recycled aggregates from demolished concrete are presented. The review is concentrated on deflection, flexural strength, cracking, long-term effects, and fire resistance. Different replacement levels of conventional coarse aggregates with recycled aggregates from demolishing waste are used in development of green concrete. Results of various research attempts are analyzed. It is evident that despite of good quantum of work on the topic the scatter in results is there.
