Low-grade glued laminated timber reinforced with FRP plate (2011, background): “[22] stated that the failure mode changed from brittle tension to compression failure with the use of near surface GFRP bars with an increase in flexural strength of between 18% and 46% as the reinforcement overcame the effect of local defects in the timber.”
FRP reinforcement of timber structures (2015, background): “This model has been found by a number of authors [45,48,69] to match well with experimental results.”
Effect of moisture on the mechanical properties of CFRP–wood composite: An experimental and atomistic investigation (2015, background): “There are a number of studies on the FRP– wood bonding technique, which cover feasibility [10], economic viability [11], mechanical enhancement [12–15], failure mode [16], selection of glue [17,18], selection of FRP [19–21], bond quality [22], effects from moisture content [23], effects from environ”
