Abstract: The behavior of concrete members reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars has been the focus of many studies in recent years due to their excellent corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and good non-magnetization properties. However, the low modulus of elasticity of the FRP materials and their non-yielding characteristics results in large deflection and wide cracks in FRP reinforced concrete members. This review was focusing in different behavior of FRP bars in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Data and information collected in this review were gathered from the experimental, numerical and analytical studies from previous researches.
