This experimental study investigates the fundamental mechanical characteristics of the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars, including the tensile strength, compressive strength, shear strength, and modulus of elasticity of the CFRP bar. The properties need to be accurately determined to understand the behavior of the concrete structures reinforced with CFRP rebars. The CFRP rebar was coated with sand to enhance the adhesive strength of the concrete. Three diameters of CFRP rebar (D10, D12, and D16) were considered in accordance with ASTM provisions. A coefficient, i.e., the ratio of shear strength to tensile strength, was employed to predict the tensile strength of the CFRP rebar specimens. The test results confirm that the tensile strength of CFRP rebar is dependent on its diameter due to the shear lag effect. A coefficient in the range of 0.17 to 0.2 can be used to predict the tensile strength of CFRP rebar using shear strength.
