Abstract
Wooden structures are widely used, particularly in earthquake zones, owing to their light weight, ease of application, and resistance to the external environment. In this study, we aimed to improve the mechanical properties of laminated timber beams using novel hybrid systems [carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and wire rope]. Within the scope of this study, it is expected that using wood, which is an environmentally friendly and sustainable building element, will be more economical and safe than the reinforced concrete and steel elements currently used to pass through wide openings. The structural behavior of the hybrid-reinforced laminated timber beams was determined under the loading system. The experimental findings showed that the highest increase in the values of laminated beams reinforced with steel ropes was obtained with the 2N reinforcement, with a maximum load of 38 kN and a displacement of 137 mm. Thus, a load increase of 168% and displacement increase of 275% compared with the reference sample were obtained. Compared with the reference sample, a load increase of 92% and a displacement increase of 14% were obtained. Carbon fabrics placed between the layers with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) prevented crack development and provided significant interlayer connections. Consequently, the fabrics placed between the laminated wooden beams with the innovative reinforcement system will not disrupt the aesthetics or reduce the effect of earthquake forces, and significant reductions can be achieved in these sections.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Korean Wood Science and Technology (JKWST) launched in 1973 as an official publication of the Korean Society of Wood Science and Technology has been served as a core of knowledges on wood science and technology. The Journal acts as a medium for the exchange of research in the area of science and technology related to wood, and publishes results on the biology, chemistry, physics and technology of wood and wood-based products. Research results about applied sciences of wood-based materials are also welcome. The Journal is published bimonthly, and printing six issues per year. Supplemental or special issues are published occasionally. The abbreviated and official title of the journal is ''J. Korean Wood Sci. Technol.''. All submitted manuscripts written in Korean or English are peer-reviewed by more than two reviewers. The title, abstract, acknowledgement, references, and captions of figures and tables should be provided in English for all submitted manuscripts.
