This review is focused on the durability aspects of timber structures strengthened with fibre-
reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Although FRP composite enhances the strength and …

The recent energy and environmental crises and corresponding regulations have increased
interest in replacing conventional materials with sustainable materials in construction. Due …

To investigate the hygroscopic behaviour of engineered timber, glued-laminated (glulam)
timber made of Pacific Teak (Tectona grandis), Tasmanian Oak (Eucalyptus …

In this study, carbon fibers were added as a reinforcement layer between wood veneers
bonded with melamine-urea–formaldehyde (MUF) resin to improve properties of standard …

The defects of creep deformation and brittle fracture, which coexist in wood plastic
composites (WPCs), significantly restrict WPCs as structural engineering materials. This …

Climate change is one of the main factors influencing the research of environmentally
friendly materials. This is why the use of engineering fibers as a reinforcement technique in …

Fast-growing tree species are important due to their short growth time before they are
harvested. Both the Poplar and Eucalyptus species are fast-growing trees. These two …

The reinforcement of solid wood and wood-based composite materials is not a new idea, but
there have been very few studies about reinforcing poplar plywood with glass fiber fabric …

This research presents the influence of two different cellulose (hydrophobic pretreated/non-
pretreated) and one flax-fiber unidirectional nonwoven low areal weight fiber reinforcements …

This paper presents the results of experimental testing of the bending strength and modulus
of elasticity in edgewise bending of unreinforced and reinforced seven-layer LVL (laminated …
