This paper investigates the shear behavior of concrete beams longitudinally reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. Beams with and without glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) stirrups are analyzed in the paper. Results of 93 large-scale FRP-reinforced concrete beam specimens were shor...
