The use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) in the reinforcement of structural Reinforced Concrete (RC) elements has garnered significant attention due to its advantageous properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to corrosion, and ease and rapidity of application. However, the existing international codes and standards on structural design and reinforcement largely overlook specific guidelines for torsional reinforcement of beams using FRPs. This paper aims to highlight the critical gaps in current normative frameworks regarding this aspect. Firstly, a comprehensive review of major international codes, including ACI and other relevant standards, is conducted to identify the extent to which they address or partially neglect torsional reinforcement using FRPs. It is found that while these codes provide detailed procedures for shear and flexural strengthening of beams, they fall short in offering explicit directives for torsional reinforcement, leading to potential inconsistencies in design practices when dealing with the failure of the longitudinal rebars. The discussion then shifts to the implications of these gaps, focusing on the structural performance and safety of beams subjected to torsion. Available experimental results are presented to underscore the importance of incorporating specific guidelines for the full understanding of the FRP torsional reinforcement. Finally, recommendations are provided for future revisions of international standards, emphasizing the need for clear and complete design equations.
