Abstract:
The FRP sheets were backed by another wood layer if the FRP sheets used for reinforcements were too thin to allow application of the compression load in the ASTM D 905 test apparatus 3) Percentage of wood failure Percentage of both wood and is reported FRP failure were evaluated and reported 4) All specimens should be Resistance to shear was conditioned to 8-14 % MC determined on FRP-wood (preferably 10-12 % MC) interfaces in “dry” (10-12 % MC) and “wet” (green or pressure soaked) conditions cially available FRP composite systems, including the FRP materials, primers, and adhesives exhibiting exterior durability potential for glulam reinforcement [26,36,48,49]. The modified qualification procedure was applied to evaluate ten different combinations of FRP composite materials, primers, and adhesives for further validation of the material qualification protocol. …
