Abstract : This paper firstly presents a brief introduction on the current state of laboratory study on building structures with recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) in PR China, which includes mechanical property of RAC material, structural behavior of RAC loading elements, and seismic performance of RAC frame structures. The laboratory experimental study results prove that it is feasible to apply RAC as a structure material in building structures. Secondly, this paper presents an outline of Chinese national technical codes for recycled aggregate concrete organized and edited by the author. Thirdly, it also puts forward some successful applications of RAC in building structures in PR China which will be helpful to promote and popularize RAC as one kind of ecological structural material in the world.
