Both wood and bamboo are renewable anisotropic materials with a long application history
in human society. Engineered wood or bamboo aiming to mitigate the variability of the …

Highly loaded and large span timber beams are often used for halls, public buildings or
bridges. Reinforcement of beams may be required to extend the life of the structure, due to …

The primary issues restricting fast-growing wood utilization in buildings are its low
dimensional stability and lack of strength grading. Thermal treatment has been shown to …

Timber engineering has advanced over recent decades to offer an alternative to traditional
materials and methods. The bonding of fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) with adhesives to …

An investigation was carried out on CLT panels made from Sitka spruce in order to establish
the effect of the thickness of CLT panels on the bending stiffness and strength and the rolling …

This study presents a new type of bamboo scrimber beams that are strengthened by fiber-
reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sheets embedded in the internal tensile region with an …

Developments in the field of timber engineering have helped in the wise and economical
use of timber for structural purposes. Glued laminated wood is composed of several layers of …

This paper describes an experimental test program and theoretical analysis which examines
the reinforcing in flexure of glued laminated timber (glulam) beams using fiber reinforced …

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 paper describes an experimental test programme which examines the strengthening in
flexure of low-grade glued laminated timber beams (glulam) using bonded-in glass fibre …
