Stress-strain state of wooden beams with external reinforcement

Abstract

The stress-strain state of wood-composite beams was studied numerically. Numerical studies were performed on wood-composite floor beams with a cross-section size of 100×240 mm and a length of 4.8 m. it was Experimentally proved that the deformability of wood-glued beams is reduced by 1.8…2.1 times, compared to conventional wooden beams. For wooden beams in the elastic design stage, the limiter is the calculation of the 2nd group of limit States (for stiffness), for composite beams, the calculation of the 1st group of limit States (for strength. The calculation proved that the deformability of wood composite beams is reduced by 1.8…2.1 times, compared to conventional wooden beams. The high efficiency of the finite element method calculation for evaluating the criteria of load-bearing capacity of wood-composite beams up to their destruction is proved.

Experimental and Numerical Studies on Repaired Wooden Beam of Traditional Buildings in Huizhou Region, China

“…Inspired by the natural bamboo structures with high stiffness and stability when subjected to lateral loads, Zhang et al [28] conducted flexural tests on a combined structure with hollow sections and internal stiffener ribs. Lukin et al [29] numerically analyzed the characteristics of wood composite floor beams. The results revealed that compared to the conventional wooden beams, the deformation capacity of glued laminated beams was reduced.…”
