Abstract: As one of the main force-receiving members in reinforced concrete structure system, reinforced concrete (RC) beams often break or affect structural safety because of various reasons. As a new type of structural material, FRP has been widely used in practical RC beams reinforcement engineering with its light-weight, high-strength and corrosion resistance. At present, the research on FRP reinforced RC beams is more in-depth. This paper has compiled the research status of the static performance, fire resistance and impact resistance of FRP-strengthened RC beams by domestic and foreign scholars, analyzes the problems existing in the current research, and puts forward suggestions for future research directions.

Key words: FRP, RC beam, static performance, fire resistance, impact resistance
