FRP (fiber reinforced polymer material) having a high specific strength and specific modulus, good corrosion resistance and other advantages. FRP materials in civil engineering industry has been more and more popular, and gradually become a hot issue in the world. In order to take full advantage of a variety of materials and overcome the problems in the FRP structure, this paper mainly studies the composite structure of FRP and traditional materials, namely FRP-concrete composite beam structure. The mechanical parameters of FRP (mainly including CFRP and GFRP) were selected. And the stress -strain diagram of FRP materials are drawn. Through tensile tests on FRP (including CFRP and GFRP), FRP was found to belong to brittle materials. As well as the mechanical properties of FRP materials, the ultimate load analysis, the decision to use CFRP as a composite beam structural stiffness of the research materials. When considering concrete shrinkage, creep, temperature difference effect, the stiffness of composite beam meets the requirement. The deflection of FRP- concrete composite beam is verified by mechanical formula. The change of the concrete stiffness will affect the change of the structural stiffness of the FRP- concrete composite beam. As well as through an example, it is found that the concrete shrinkage and temperature can affect the change of the stiffness of the composite structure.
