Abstract text:
A preliminary analysis of different hybrid beams based on strengthening solutions of wood beams using fibre reinforced polymeric (FRP) composite products is presented. The carbon fiber reinforced polymeric (CFRP) composite materials utilized to strengthen the wood beams have been selected in several shapes like plates, round bars, or narrow strips. A comparison between several solutions utilizing different strengthening schemes has been done on certain criteria such as materials consumption, maximum deflection, and normal stress at mid span.
Key Words:
hybrid beam; wood beam; strengthening methods; FEM ana-lysis; CFRP.
