| Abstract | The corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete structures is still a main problem and needed protection especially the structures subjected to aggressive environments. At present, an alternative is to use concrete reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars as FRP bars are noncorrosive. However, this technology is quite new for civil engineers. More importantly, the mechanical properties of FRP bars are different from those of steel bars. This paper is, therefore, aimed at introducing and discussing about this technology in the issues of mechanical and physical properties of FRP bars; advantages and disadvantages, research work and applications of concrete structures reinforced with FRP bars; and economic considerations as well as research work and applications in Thailand |
