Viscoelastic creep in reinforced glulam
(TU Verlag Wien, 2016-08-22)
The mechanical and physical properties of softwood timber can vary considerably as a result of the age and rate of growth of the tree and other environmental factors which affect the wood cell density and strength [1]. ...
Mechano-sorptive creep in reinforced glulam
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2018-08-20)
An investigation was carried out to examine the effect of reinforcement on the creep behaviour of FRP
reinforced timber elements in a controlled variable climate. Creep is accelerated by moisture variations due to a ...
Enhancing low grade sitka spruce glulam beams with bonded-in BFRP rods
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2014)
The reinforcement of timber elements using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) rods or plates
is widely accepted as an effective method of increasing the stiffness of members, while at
the same time reducing the variability ...
