Use of nondestructive techniques for determination of tension parallel-to-grain properties of spruce
(USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory (FPL), 2019-09-25)
The paper presents a study of the tension properties of Irish-grown Sitka spruce. Fifty timber pieces were destructively tested having resonant frequency and knots measured. The aim was to improve knowledge of the performance ...
Numerical study of FRP reinforced timber members subjected to variable climates
(SHATiS International Conference on Structural Health Assessment of Timber Structures, 2019-09-25)
The use of FRP reinforcement, even in small percentages, has been shown to improve the short-term flexural behaviour of timber members. This technology has been successfully used in new construction and in the repair and ...
