Experimental and finite-element analysis of stress distributions near the end of reinforcement in partially reinforced glulam

Creator:

Kirlin, Chad P.

Abstract:

Recently, fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP lamina) have been applied to glued-laminated (glulam) timber for the purpose of improving bending strength and stiffness. Initially, full length reinforcement using FRP lamina was developed. However, the cost of FRP lamina is a significant portion of the total cost of reinforced glulam. Therefore, it is...

The stress-strain relationships in wood and fiber-reinforced plastic laminae of reinforced glued-laminated wood beams

Creator:

Tingley, Dan A., (Daniel Arthur), 1954-

Abstract:

The reinforcement of wood and wood composite structural products to improve their mechanical properties has been in practice for many years. Recently, the use of high-strength fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) as a reinforcement in such applications has been commercialized. The reinforcement is manufactured using a standard pultrusion process or alternatively a...
