Both wood and bamboo are renewable anisotropic materials with a long application history
in human society. Engineered wood or bamboo aiming to mitigate the variability of the …

A concise state-of-the-art survey of fiber-reinforced polymer (also known as fiber-reinforced
plastic) composites for construction applications in civil engineering is presented. The paper …

This work shows a study based on data obtained experimentally using bending tests of pine
timber beams reinforced with composite materials. Fibers used for the execution of the …

This state of the art review paper aims to discuss the results of a literature survey on possible
ways to reinforce printed concrete based on existing reinforcement strategies. Just as …

Repair and rehabilitation of infrastructure is becoming increasingly important for bridges due
to material deterioration and limited capacity to accommodate current load levels. An …

High strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, and electromagnetic neutrality make fiber-
reinforced plastic (FRP) a suitable candidate in many structural applications, including …

This paper presents a modeling approach to predict the behavior of timber beams
strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. A three-dimensional …

This paper describes an experimental test program and theoretical analysis which examines
the reinforcing in flexure of glued laminated timber (glulam) beams using fiber reinforced …

The paper presents the results of studies proposing to use carbon fibre reinforced polymer
(CFRP) strips to reinforce beams with defects (biological corrosion, inclusions, slope of …

Timber beams in historic buildings tend to display signs of mechanical degradation in the
form of large bending deformations and reduced capacity, often caused by timber defects …
