Abstract
Timber-concrete composite beams are classified as modern constructions. They are created by connecting a timber and concrete element. They are designed in such a way that the concrete part of the beam is placed in the compressed zone, and the timber part is placed in the tension zone. Different types of fasteners can be used for connecting, from mechanical (screws, nails, perforated plates, parts of steel profiles, etc.) to chemical (various types of glues). In this work, the possibility of active strengthening for this type of beam by external prestressing, is examined. One way for applying an external prestressing force is shown. By experimental testing are determined results for prestressed and beam without prestressing. Obtained results are presented and compared.
期刊介绍:
Facta Universitatis, Series: Mechanical Engineering (FU Mech Eng) is an open-access, peer-reviewed international journal published by the University of Niš in the Republic of Serbia. It publishes high-quality, refereed papers three times a year, encompassing original theoretical and/or practice-oriented research as well as extended versions of previously published conference papers. The journal's scope covers the entire spectrum of Mechanical Engineering. Papers undergo rigorous peer review to ensure originality, relevance, and readability, maintaining high publication standards while offering a timely, comprehensive, and balanced review process.
