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...
