Mechanical Response of Timber Beams Strengthened with Variable Amounts of CFRP and Bamboo Scrimber Layers

Abstract This paper proposes a novel method for strengthening existing timber beams that can effectively improve the deformability of beams. As high-performance engineered bamboo, bamboo scrimber was attached to the bottom tensile area of a timber beam together with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (...
