We study static cylindrically symmetric vacuum solutions in Weyl
coordinates in the context of the metric f(R) theories of gravity.
The set of the modified Einstein equations is reduced to a single
equation and it
is shown how one
can construct exact solutions corresponding to different f(R) models.
In particular the family of solutions with constant Ricci scalar
(R=R0)
is found explicitly which, as a special case (R=0), includes the
exterior spacetime of a cosmic string. Another new solution with constant,
non-zero Ricci scalar is obtained and its possible relation to the Linet-Tian
solution in general relativity is discussed.
