This article deals with a numerical analysis of concrete beam elements. The main goal is to verify the use of recycled concrete in load-bearing elements under bending strain. Concretes with two types of recycled aggregate namely recycled concrete and recycled masonry were compared with a normal reference concrete. The concretes beams were designed with the same geometry, reinforcement, and same concrete strength class but with different aggregates. The major differences in performances between the individual specimens are caused by the effect of the lower modulus of elasticity of recycled aggregate concrete as well.
