The mechano-sorptive creep behaviour of basalt FRP reinforced timber elements in a variable climate
(Elsevier, 2019-09-25)
The use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcement has been shown to improve the short-term flexural behaviour of timber elements. This is particularly important when reinforced elements are subjected to a variable ...
Evaluation and analysis of fracture modes in single composite basalt/epoxy fibres by photoelastic method and single fibre fragmentation test
(Springer, 2022-04-11)
In this work, the suitability of basalt fibres for uni-directional composite material applications, and adhesion between the fibres and the matrix they are embedded in have been investigated. A single fibre fragmentation ...
Modelling the hygro-mechanical creep behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
A fully coupled moisture-displacement finite element model has been developed to predict the viscoelastic, mechano-sorptive and swelling/shrinkage behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements when stressed under long-term ...
