FRP composites in enhancement of timber structures

Abstract

FRP composites in enhancement of timber structures. Over last few decades timber engineering has significantly developed. It offers a large variety of alternatives to traditional materials and methods. For example, more and more often FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) composites, widely used in concrete structures, are getting extended to timber structures. However, the lack of established design rules regarding to FRPs usage in strengthening and repair of timber structures has significantly complicated its practical application. That is why in recent years techniques involving FPRs have been studied on many levels, such as issues of the bond between reinforced and reinforcement material, bondline delamination process, quality control procedures for on-site bonding, leading to the design rules development.
