Abstract
Both firwood and oakwood beams have been tested in flexure before and after the application of a composite reinforcement made of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) unidirectional sheet. The uncertainty in the strength of reinforced timber is also quantified and modelled. Test results show that the FRP reinforcement is effective for both enhancing the beam load-carrying capacity and for reducing strength uncertainties.
