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...

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...

This report presents the results of tests made to determine the effect of different types of configurations and notches on the tensile strength and fatigue strength of a typical epoxy laminate. Tension tests were first made of 13 groups of specimens having different forms. Based on the results of the...
This report presents the results of fatigue tests of an epoxide laminate subjected to axial loading. Direct stress tests were made at 0°, 15°, 30°, and 45° to the warp direction. Stress was applied at a frequency of 900 cycles per minute at zero mean stress on both unnotched and...
This report has been prepared as a supplement to Forest Products Laboratory Report No. 1823, "Fatigue Tests of Glass-Fabric-Base Laminates Subjected to Axial Loading." It presents a correlation of the fatigue data in the basic report with stress-rupture data on the same material reported in Forest Products Laboratory Report No....

Fifteen large glued-laminated beams made from visually graded hem-fir lumber were designed, fabricated, and tested to failure in static bending. When tested, the beams had an average moisture content of 7.5 percent. The beams were 40 feet long, 5 1/8 inches wide and 24 inches deep. Before laminating, individual pieces...
This project report presents a laboratory investigation of the dynamic behavior of saturated alluvial silty soils from sites in Oregon and Washington. The focus of the study was to document the liquefaction susceptibility, post cyclic strength, and volumetric strain behavior of the silt soils based on cyclic, undrained triaxial compression...
The compressive behavior of continuous fiber composites is not as well
understood as their tensile behavior because research and industrial applications have until
recently focused on the latter. Furthermore, most theoretical and experimental studies on
the compression of composites have examined the case of unidirectional specimens with
fibers along the...
Efficient use of wood in structural applications depends
upon the accuracy with which we can predict the mechanical
behavior of members under load. Most methods of lumber grading
and laminated beam design depend upon statistical and/or
empirical techniques in which averaged properties for complete
members are derived. A knowledge of...

This study examined the decay resistance of the pine and maple components of wood plastic composites (WPC' s) of varying thicknesses exposed on several culture media to wood decay fungi under laboratory conditions. The ability of malt agar extract (MEA), potato dextrose agar (PDA), amended basal salts, sawdust (maple and...
This project determines the short term and long term effective stiffness values for Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) with a reinforced concrete topping. The reinforced concrete was attached to the CLT panels with interface connections, and different types of interface connections were tested. Throughout this project, there are 31 tests with...
Composites often are able to carry more load after damage due to the structure of laminates. In addition, damage can be difficult to detect in composites compared to homogeneous materials. Understanding the behavior of composite material after damage is vital for composite structural design. Currently, experimental methods exist for classifying...
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a massive engineered wood product made of orthogonally bonded layers of solid-sawn lumber, and is intended for roof, floor, or wall applications. Although it was developed in Europe in the early 90s, CLT is relatively new to North America.
CLT products must be certified for structural...
