    • An investigation of the viscoelastic creep behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced timber elements 

      Conan O'Ceallaigh, Conan; Sikora, Karol; McPolin, Daniel; Harte, Annette M. (Elsevier, 2018-08-01)
      An investigation was carried out to examine the effect of flexural reinforcement on the long-term behaviour of timber beams. Creep tests, utilising statistically matched groups, were performed under Service Class 1 conditions ...

    • The mechano-sorptive creep behaviour of basalt FRP reinforced timber elements in a variable climate 

      O'Ceallaigh, Conan; Sikora, Karol; McPolin, Daniel; Harte, Annette M. (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 ...

    • Mechano-sorptive creep in reinforced glulam 

      O'Ceallaigh, Conan; Sikora, Karol; McPolin, Daniel; Harte, Annette M. (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 ...

    • Modelling the hygro-mechanical creep behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements 

      O'Ceallaigh, Conan; Sikora, Karol; McPolin, Daniel; Harte, Annette M. (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 ...
