LOAD-BEARING CAPACITY OF SOLID TIMBER BEAMS WITH SMALL CROSS SECTION HEIGHT STRENGTHENED WITH COMPOSITE SHEETS

Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper presents the results of experimental tests focused on strengthening a solid pine beams with lightweight plastics. Glass fiber reinforced sheets S&P G-Sheet E 90/10 B and carbon fiber reinforced sheets S&P C-Sheet 240 applied to the soffit of the element were used as a reinforcement. The four point bending strength test were carried out on the laboratory scale elements. Test results indicated a significant increase in ductile behavior as well as increase in load bearing capacity of beams.
