The　compressive　strength　model　of　fibre-reinforced　polymer　(FRP)　confined　recycled　aggregate　concrete　(RAC)　is　important　in　practical　engineering　designs.　The　existing　research　has　showed　that　the　compressive　strength　of　FRP-confined　RAC　can　be　predicted　by　the　models　for　FRP　confined　natural　aggregate　concrete　(NAC).　However　the　accuracy　of　existing　compressive　strength　models　for　FRP-confined　NAC　vary　greatly　because　of　the　unclear　understanding　of　the　confinement　mechanisms.　Previous　research　has　shown　that　the　axial　stress　of　confined　concrete　tends　to　be　path-dependent.　In　this　study,　a　confining　stress　path-based　compressive　strength　model　of　FRP-confined　RAC　is　proposed　based　on　theoretical　analyses　of　the　confining　stress　path　of　FRP-confined　RAC.　In　the　proposed　model,　an　effect　index　is　determined　to　express　the　influence　of　confining　stress　path　on　the　compressive　strength.　The　relationship　between　the　effect　index　and　confinement　ratio　and　that　between　lateral　stress　dominant　index　and　confinement　ratio　are　obtained.　The　proposed　model　is　verified　by　comparison　with　previous　experimental　test　results　and　those　predicted　by　existing　representative　models.　It　is　found　that　the　compressive　strength　of　FRP-confined　RAC　is　path-dependent　for　small　confinement　ratios　(less　than　0.43)　and　path-independent　for　large　confinement　ratios　(larger　than　0.43).
