In this paper, recycled aggregate concrete subjected to severe fire or high temperatureloading condition is investigated. Special attention of the study is devoted to analyze the fire-induceddamage and the residual strengths of recycled aggregate concrete. For this purpose, 160 cubespecimens are heated under a single thermal cycle of 20oC (ambient temperature), 200oC, 300oC,400oC, 500oC, 600o, 700oC and 800oC, respectively. Different replacement percentages of therecycled coarse aggregates (RCA) with 0, 30%, 50%, 70% and 100% are considered. Damage andfailure patterns of the recycled aggregate concrete specimens are analyzed systematically based onexperimental observations. The residual compressive strengths of the recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) at elevated temperatures are studied and evaluated in details. Some differences between therecycled aggregate concretes with different replacement percentages of the recycled coarse aggregatesare observed. On the basis of the experimentally measured residual compressive strengths of therecycled concrete, relationships between the residual compressive strengths of the recycled aggregateconcrete and the elevated temperature are derived. The results presented in this paper have directapplications in the design and structural analysis of reinforced concrete structures consisting ofrecycled aggregate concrete
