Fiberglass-reinforced glulam beams: mechanical properties and theoretical model
Materials Research, 2006 The glued-laminated lumber (glulam) technique is an efficient process for making rational use of wood. Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) associated with glulam beams provide significant gains in terms of strength and stiffness, and also alter the mode of ...

Reliability analysis of a glulam beam
Structural Safety, 2007 The present case study is an example of the use of reliability analysis to asses the failure probability of a tapered glulam beam. This beam is part of a true structure built for a super market in the town of Kokemäki in Finland. The reliability analysis is carried out using the snow load statistics available from the site and on material strength ...

PECULARITIES OF CALCULATION AND STRENGTHENING OF GLULAM TIMBER BEAMS [PDF]
JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT, 1997 This paper deals with analysis of pecularities of design and strengthening of tapered, curved and pitched cambered glulam beams under action of lateral tension. The formulas and drawings presented give the possibility for addition and clarification of existed design methods of such beams in our country.

Bending behaviour of glulam beams reinforced with carbon FRP plates
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2015 The idea of reinforcing glued laminated timber (glulam) beams came in response to the need to improve the mechanical properties, as well as to ensure higher reliability of this type of structural elements.

Construction and Building Materials, 2022 The research and development of timber and timber-hybrid systems depends heavily on the testing of large or full-scale structural components, which is often limited by laboratory space and budget constraints. Testing of small-scale samples is an alternative approach which can avoid costly experimental campaigns; however, little is known about ...

Design and modeling of glulam beams with holes
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2021 Abstract The paper presents a sketch of design recommendations and numerical simulations of stress distributions in perforated double-tapered beams made of glued laminated timber, taking into account the reinforcement used. Conscious design requires, according to the authors opinion, calculations performed using the finite element method.
