Historical buildings carry the key technologies and practical values throughout the
development of architectural heritage. Investigating the restoration techniques for historical …

Timber structures have been valued for their versatility, aesthetic appeal, and sustainability;
however, they are prone to deterioration over time. With the growing interest in mass timber …

Timber is one of the materials widely used in construction and industry all over the world. In
this paper, the behavior of strengthened timber beams made of beech wood (Fagus …

Timbers with defects are often used in historical buildings. However, the existing fibre sheet
reinforcing technology for the timber beams is difficult to balance the strength, ductility and …

This paper proposes a methodology for monitoring of timber beams retrofitted with CFRP
(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) via the acoustic emission technique (AE). The work …

Timber is arguably the oldest construction materials that human have used since the dawn
of civilization. Since the last few centuries, the invention of concrete and steel materials has …

This paper presents the effectiveness of various retrofit techniques in improving the flexural
behavior of structural timber. For realistic representation with regard to site application …

Wooden structures are widely used, particularly in earthquake zones, owing to their light
weight, ease of application, and resistance to the external environment. In this study, we …

In this study, the timber beam was strengthened at the shear span with intermitted glass fiber
reinforcement polymer (GFRP). The effect of different numbers of GFRP strips, different …

An experimental study on the structural behavior of steel-timber composite beams is
presented in this paper. The timber beams were reinforced with flat and channel-shaped …
