“…Several numerical works have investigated the performance of strengthened RT members using the Finite Element (FE) method [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Khelifa et al [15] developed a numerical procedure to simulate the flexural behaviour of CFRP-strengthened timber beams wherein the kinematic continuity was assumed between adhesive and wood.…”

“…VALIPOUR and CREWS [29] proposed a novel force-based element in the framework of the total secant approach for nonlinear analysis of timber beams strengthened with FRP sheet (bar), including bond-slip effects. The formulation takes account of material nonlinearities and preserves the continuity of slip shear.…”

Timber engineering has advanced over recent decades to offer an alternative to traditional materials and methods. The bonding of fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) with adhesives to timber structures for repair and strengthening has many advantages. However, the lack of established design rules has strongly restrained the use of FRP strengthening in many situations, where these could be a preferable option to most traditional techniques. A significant body of research has been carried out in recent years on the performance of FRP reinforced timber and engineered wood products. This paper gives a State of the Art summary of material formulations, application areas, design approaches and quality control issues for practical engineers to introduce on-site bonding of FRP to timber as a new way in design for structural repair and rehabilitation.

“…Old wooden beams were reinforced with CFRP strips using a number of configurations and it was concluded that the effectiveness of the reinforcement significantly depended on the quality of the wood-CFRP strip bond [26]. Another study used a finite element model to predict the behaviour of reinforced solid timber beams [27]. It was reported that the bond shear-slip between the FRP and timber had little effect on the stiffness and ultimate load capacity.…”
