Bending reinforcement of cedar glulam beam with inserted GFRP and BFRP plates

This study investigates the bending performance enhancement of glued laminated timber (glulam) beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) and basalt fiber reinforced biopolymer (BFRP) containing biomass material in its matrix resin. The glulam beams were reinforc...
