Experimental study and numerical simulation of long-term behavior of timber beams strengthened with near surface mounted CFRP bars
The near-surface mounted (NSM) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) method has been proven effective and is increasingly applied to strengthen timber beams. However, few studies on the long-term response of such FRP...

Experimental study on flexural performance of glued-laminated-timber-bamboo beams
Engineered bamboo, produced through the technique of gluing and reconstituting, has better mechanical properties than round bamboo and some wood products. This paper studies the flexural performance of laminat...

Bond durability of epoxy and cement- bonded CFRP reinforcement to concrete interfaces subject to water immersion
Durability is a critical concern for concrete structures externally bonded with fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcement. This paper presents the results from an experimental study which compared the bond durabi...
