Abstract |
|
Timber has been widely used all over the world as a structural material. The defects such as ageing, biological attack, swelling and shrinkage could significantly reduce the mechanical properties of timber, thus significantly affecting the performance of timber structures. This project presents an investigation aimed to understand the various types of strengthened timber beam. The timber beam was strengthened by different proportions it is that cold-formed channel section and CFRP bars under tension zone were considered under two-point flexural tests. The Abaqus software was used, and different material models were evaluated with respect to their ability to describe the behaviour of the composite timber beams. Then the failure, displacement, bending capacity, and structural efficiency are evaluated. |
