Abstract	The unique mechanical properties of the fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) reinforcement tendons have necessitated the development of reliable and practical anchorages for these tendons. FRP's high ratio of axial tensile strength to lateral compressive strength, approximately 20 to 1, introduces serious problems to the various anchorage techniques avialable or currently under development. Grout-type anchorages, although they have disadvantages, have been easier to design than wedge type anchorages, but most manufacturers are attempting to provide both types. Wedge type anchorages have been recently used for carbon and aramid fiber tendons. Anchorages for glass fiber reinforced plastics tendons are discussed, as well as anchorages for carbon fiber reinforced plasitcs tendons. Wedge type anchorages for aramid fiber ropes are described, as well as anchorages for AFRP (aramid fiber reinforced plastics) rods.
