[Purposes] The internally porous and highly thermally stable glazed hollow beads (GHB) can reduce the high temperature damage and deterioration of concrete to a certain extent, and improve the fire resistance of concrete. In order to further clarify the mechanism of GHB in improving the fire resistance of concrete, starting from the meso-scale concrete, we proposed a modeling method for RATIC meso-scale model that can take into account the initial defects and the replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). [Methods] The effects of RCA replacement rates (0, 50%, 100%), GHB contents (0, 70%, 100%), and porosity (0, 2%, 4%) on the mechanical properties of RATIC after high temperature were explored by utilizing the plastic damage model commonly used at curent stage. [Findings] The results show that with the increase of fire temperature, the damage distributions of the RATIC specimens under load exhibit a gradually increasing trend, and the damage distribution of the specimens after 500 °C is more serious than that before 400 °C. The addition of GHB alleviates the damage and deterioration inside the concrete to a certain extent, while the addition of RCA exacerbates this phenomenon. In addition, the strength of RATIC specimens gradually decreases with the increase of porosity.
