Bending performance of laminated veneer lumber timber beams strengthened in the compression side with near-surface mounted CFRP plates
Source abstract
Abstract
This study investigated the bending behavior of timber beams that were strengthened using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. Fourteen laminated veneer lumber (LVL) timber beams, each measuring 60 mm×200 mm x 2400 mm, were subjected to four-point bending tests. The objective was to investigate the effect of using CFRP plates as near-surface mounted (NSM) strengthening in the compression zone on the bending behavior of the LVL timber beams. In this experiment, two beams were left unstrengthened while the remaining beams were strengthened with varying lengths, depths and numbers of CFRP plates. The beams load-midspan deflection relationship, ultimate load capacity, stiffness, failure mode, and strain profile distribution were analysed based on experimental results. The use of CFRP plates in the compression zone of LVL beams has been found to improve their strength and stiffness. The test result showed timber beams strengthened with CFRP plates with a reinforcement ratio ranging from 1.67 % to 5.00 % experienced a significant increase in bending strength of 4.24–28.85 % and an increase in bending stiffness of 16.48–62.51 %. These results indicate that NSM CFRP plates can effectively strengthen timber materials, offering improved bending performance and durability.
