Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This paper provides a focused review of the studies on short‐term flexural performance, creep behaviour and blast responses of timber beams reinforced with three strengthening methods: external reinforcement (ER), near‐surface mounted (NSM) and glued‐in (GI) methods.

Buildings, 2023 Beech (Fagus Sylvatica L.) is a prevalent tree species in Slovenia and is suitable for manufacturing glulam beams. However, beech wood has certain limitations that can potentially be mitigated by combining it with Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst ...

Repair of glulam beams using GFRP rods [PDF]
WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2009 Timber is one of the oldest building materials and is very attractive because it is a renewable resource, recyclable and relatively inexpensive. However, as the service requirements that are imposed on structural members change, mechanical upgrade or repair becomes of increasing importance.

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 25, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT The structural design optimization aims for robust structures with minimal use of material resources, leading to slender and thin‐walled structures, which entail a higher risk of stability problems. This issue is further influenced by geometrical imperfections, which are subjected to uncertainties.

Analytical Approach to Predict Pre–Camber Deflection of the Pre-stressed Glulam Beams
Civil Engineering Dimension, 2015 A new approach to reinforce glulam timber beams using compressed wood (CW) has been developed by the Author. The compressed wood blocks are inserted into pre-cut holes on the top of glulam beams to produce pre-camber and to generate initial tensile and ...

Monte Carlo tree search for mass timber building design optimization
Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 31, Page 6242-6260, 29 December 2025.Abstract Mass timber construction has gained significant traction in recent years due to its sustainability and lower energy demands. However, its broader adoption remains limited by higher material costs, compared to conventional construction materials.

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 878-903, October 2025.ABSTRACT This paper presents the development of finite element models for timber connections with gaps under fire conditions which are subsequently validated using experimental data. Fourteen models are developed for concealed steel‐to‐timber connection configurations with gap sizes of 0, 3, 6 and 10 mm exposed to ISO 834 standard fire for 120 min ...

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 This paper aims to describe the performance of mix-glue laminated timber beams that are given a nylon strapping as external reinforcement with the three-point bending test to three groups of beams based on the span-to-depth ratio, i.e.: G11, G8, and G5 ...
