Low-grade glued laminated timber reinforced with FRP plate
Gary M. Raftery,Annette M. Harte +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the reinforcement in flexure of low-grade glued laminated timber (glulam) with a commercially attractive recyclable fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental tests and numerical analysis of historic bent timber elements reinforced with CFRP strips
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to use carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips to reinforce beams with defects (biological corrosion, inclusions, slope of grain, cracks) in order to restore their load-bearing capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexural stiffness and strength enhancement of horizontally glued laminated wood beams with GFRP and CFRP composite sheets
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental program of strengthening laminated wood beams using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer composite sheets was presented, and the results of the study were encouraging with percentage increase in flexural stiffness as 26.29% and 45.76% respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of solid wood beams strengthened with CFRP laminates of distinct lengths
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanical behavior of solid wood beams reinforced with CFRP laminates and explored numerical and analytical approaches to assess the effect of the reinforcement length on the interfacial shear and peeling stresses.

Prestressed glulam timbers reinforced with steel bars
Vincenzo De Luca,Cosimo Marano +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of four-point bending tests were conducted to failure on unreinforced, reinforced and reinforced-prestressed glue laminated (glulam) timber beams with steel-bars in a simply-supported scheme to determine their flexural behavior.

Frp-reinforced wood as structural material
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the re-construction of a bridge from a bridge made from wood, which can enable contemporary wood structures such as bridges to be competitive with those constructed from any other conventional material.

Innovative Prestressing with FRP Sheets: Mechanics of Short‐Term Behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the short-term mechanical behavior of a novel prestressing technique, which involves external bonding of pretensioned fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite sheets on the tension zones of structural elements.
Nonprestressed and prestressed FRP sheets as external reinforcement of wood members
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of external composite reinforcement on the strength, the stiffness and the curvature ductility of hybrid FRP-wood members under a combination of bending moments and axial forces is examined.

Prestressed FRP Sheets as External Reinforcement of Wood Members
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established a novel technique for reinforcing wood members involving external bonding of pretensioned fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) sheets on their tension zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Creep behavior of frp-reinforced wood members
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical method is presented for the deformation of cross sections based on a Burger model combined with a mechanosorptive element for wood, Findley's model for composite materials, and a stress-relaxation procedure to yield the cross-section stresses and strains as a function of time, for both constant and variable temperature and humidity conditions.
