The aim of the research work was to determine the influence of cyclic freezing and thawing on anchoring non- -metallic BFRP and HFRP reinforcements in concrete beams. The analyses allowed confirmation of the analogy of the behavior of innovative HFRP bars in relation to the widely known BFRP bars. The values of slip for rebars subjected to cyclic freezing and thawing were an average of 50% greater than the values of slip recorded for those kept at constant temperature +20°C.
