Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) have been widely used in civil
engineering due to light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, etc. CFRPs can …

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 …

The article presents the results of research on the strengthening of timber beams with the
use of pretensioned CFRP strips. In the beginning, the review of literature regarding both …

Tests were conducted to determine the flexural bearing capacities of glulam spliced joints
connected by self-tapping screws (STSs) in five different configurations. The flexural …

Due to the high cost of laboratory testing, many researchers are considering developing
methods to predict the behavior of unreinforced and reinforced wood beams. This work aims …

The article presents research on timber beams strengthened with pre-tensioned carbon fiber
reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips. The prestress level was different in individual series of …

Developing sustainable high-performance bamboo scrimber (BS) as structural and
reinforcing materials is significant. BS was used as reinforcing material to increase ancient …

In addition to the traditional uses of plywood, such as furniture and construction, it is also
widely used in areas that benefit from its special combination of strength and lightness …

Traditional bamboo and wood components have different holes due to their own and
external factors, and the appropriate hole repair technology is the key to improve the …

The strengthening of timber beams with carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP) has been
widely used in the last decades to enhance the behaviour of historical or new timber …
