The paper describes results of an experimental investigation on tension stiffening effects of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) concrete members. The analysis was performed on cylindrical concrete tension specimens reinforced with Carbon FRP rebars. Tensile tests were carried out by a testing machine under displacement control. The influence of different size of specimen, that is the ratio concrete cover-to-rebar diameter (c/d) was analysed. Obtained results in terms of cracking and deformation of specimens are presented and discussed.
