Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials have emerged as an

alternative for producing reinforcing bars for concrete structures.

Fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcing bars offer advantages over

steel reinforcement because they are noncorrosive. Some FRP

bars are nonconductive as well. Due to other differences in the

physical and mechanical behavior of FRP materials versus steel,

unique guidance on the engineering and construction of concrete

structures reinforced with FRP bars is necessary. Other countries

and regions, such as Japan, Canada, and Europe have established

design and construction guidelines specifically for the use of FRP

bars as concrete reinforcement. This guide offers general information

on the history and use of FRP reinforcement, a description

of the unique material properties of FRP, and guidelines for the

design and construction of structural concrete members reinforced

with FRP bars. This guide is based on the knowledge gained from

worldwide experimental research, analytical work, and field applications

of FRP reinforcement.
