Timber structures are strongly depending on the design of connections, which are mostly constructed from steel components. However, these joints have a number of limitations such as the tendency to be heavy, proneness to corrosion and often poor aesthetic appearances...
Preliminary results from an experimental program investigating the behaviour of retrofitted glulam beams subjected to static and dynamic loads are presented in this paper. The effect of glass fibre-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) laminates applied on the tension side was investigated under both static and dynamic loading as a potential retrofit on...
Glued-in rods are to be considered a main research field within timber engineering. While there are still many open questions, significant progress has been achieved with regard to steel bars embedded in softwoods. This paper ambition is extending the knowledge about glued-in rods towards hardwood and hardwood laminated veneer...
