Fiber-reinforced cement composites are an interesting alternative:

Some German researchers seem to think that carbon fiber-reinforced polymer "rebar" could be more durable than steel bars with similar cost and lower weight:

Unfortunately, the terminology is not well standardized, and when you look up "carbon fiber reinforced concrete", you never know if you're going to get a fiber-reinforced cement composite (incorporating carbon fibers directly into the cement matrix) or a CFRP rebar system. Regardless, there do seem to be some improvements on the horizon.
