The application of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) for strengthening timber structures has
proven its efficiency in enhancing load-bearing capacity and, in some cases, the stiffness of …

Increased use of wood has led to complex timber constructions and new types of
engineered wood products. In simulations, however, mainly simplified models are used to …

This paper describes a comparative experimental and analytical study of the maximum
bending load in timber beams of Pinus sylvestris L. having natural defects (knots, grain …

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 …

The paper presents selected methods for modelling bent timber beams strengthened with
fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP). The assumptions are described, and the main analytical …

This research paper describes the mechanical results of an experimental test program and
presents an analytical model that analyzes the relations between the global, tension and …

This paper studies the axial compressive behavior of square timber filled steel tube (TFST)
stub columns. A total of twelve specimens, including bare timber columns, hollow steel tube …

This study proposes a model using data from a scanner (X-ray and grain angle
measurements) to perform strength grading. The research also includes global …

Ten groups of bamboo scrimber samples between 0°(parallel to the grain) and
90°(perpendicular to the grain) were chosen for compression test. The effect of different …

The aim of this study was to examine the impacts of visual characteristics, strength-reducing
features (SRFs), and basic density on the mechanical properties of fibre-managed plantation …
