Abstract
The use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in structural applications has considerably increased in order to minimize the environmental effects of concrete buildings. Bond is a crucial characteristic of reinforced concrete that relates to the adhesion between the reinforcing steel and the surrounding concrete. This systematic review presents a comprehensive examination of the bond characteristics of steel bars and recycled coarse aggregate concrete RAC In addition, several components influencing both the load-slip curve and the failure mechanisms of RAC specimens were presented and discussed. Furthermore, prediction equations for bond strength and models of the bond-slip relationship between RAC and steel bars were summarized to enhance understanding of their applicability. The systematic review concentrated on scientific research articles to collect high-quality data, which can offer more in-depth insight into the bond behavior. The results show that several aspects influence the bond behavior of RAC specimens. These elements include the substitution rate of RCA, the steel bars' kind and size, the compressive strength, the length of embedment, and the performance of the aggregate. Both corrosion of steel rebars and cycles of freeze-thaw have an impact on the bonding performance between recycled aggregate concrete RAC and steel bars. The bonding performance between RAC and steel bars deteriorates as corrosion of steel rebars and damages from freeze-thaw approaches a particular threshold. Finally, the bonding strength of RAC exhibits an initial rise followed by a subsequent reduction with an increase in the rate of replacement of RCA.

Highlights
An in-depth analysis of the bond properties of steel bars in recycled coarse aggregate concrete is presented. The systematic review examines scientific articles from 2000 to 2023 for comprehensive data analysis. The relationship between recycled aggregate percentage and bond strength is now better understood.
