Synthetic-Fiber Strip Reinforcement of Glulam Beams: Bond, Recovery, and Flexural Response

This study reanalyzes an archived experimental program on textured polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyester-fiber strips used as internal tensile reinforcement in glued-laminated timber (glulam) beams. The pull-out stage comprised one specimen (n = 1) per reinforcement-morp...
