The bending resistance of glulam made of softwood is governed by the timber strength in the tension zone. By reinforcing the tension zone with high strength fibre materials, the bending resistance can be significantly increased. Moreover, with a high reinforcement ratio and an additional shear reinforcement, a distinct non-linear load–displacement behaviour can be achieved. For this purpose, the brittle failure modes of glulam in tension and shear need to be prevented with the reinforcements. The resulting non-linear bending behaviour allows to redistribute bending moments in statically indeterminate systems. Therewith, the load bearing capacity can be further increased. Within the scope of a research project of ETH Zurich and its partners Roth Burgdorf AG and the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI), a new reinforcing system for glulam with high strength fibre materials was developed. This report covers a detailed description of the experimental tests conducted in the course of this project. A detailed investigation on the load bearing behaviour of fibre reinforced glulam was the subject of a doctoral thesis at ETH Zurich with the title “Bending resistance and deformation capacity of fibre reinforced glulam beams”. The experiments covered in this report constituted the experimental basis for this thesis.
