Abstract:

Compare with ordinary steel rebars, FRP tendons have the characteristics of high tensile strength, noncorrosive, light weight and low elastics modulus, etc, which have been taken as an attractive alternative reinforcing material for steel to the corrosion problem However, FRP’s transverse strength is very low, studies on shear behaviors of concrete structures with FRP tendons have been emphasized in engineering structure field This paper briefly introduces the main progresses in the studies on shear behaviors from nonprestressed and prestressed concrete beams with FRP tendons Finally, advices for advanced research are proposed

Key words: FRP tendons, shear behaviors, concrete beam
