The application of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) for strengthening timber structures has
proven its efficiency in enhancing load-bearing capacity and, in some cases, the stiffness of …

This work shows a study based on data obtained experimentally using bending tests of pine
timber beams reinforced with composite materials. Fibers used for the execution of the …

Abstract Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) is a recent technique to strengthen timber
structures and the studies available discussing the debonding between these materials are …

A set of three old suspended timber floors were flexurally strengthened with carbon fiber–
reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips in order to investigate the effectiveness of externally …

Enhancement of timber beams with fibre reinforced materials gained momentum in the last
few decades producing a wide range of materials, techniques and modelling methods …

This article involves a comparative study of the flexural behavior of timber beams reinforced
with four kinds of unidirectional fiber (FRP) and metallic fibers attached to the outside using …

The aim of this study is to investigate the bending strength of the specially reinforced glued
laminated timbers (Glulams) with Glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP). Glulam was …

The aim of this paper is to present the results from a procedure developed for the repair or
reinforcement of timber beams. This procedure uses fiberglass and cork plates bonded with …

This paper proposes an externally bonded carbon fabric system to mitigate the causes of
timber sleeper deterioration. Therefore, three methods of carbon fabric application for timber …

In recent years, we have seen the construction of numerous good-looking buildings, each of
which is perfectly safe, resistant to weather conditions, durable and economically efficient …
