Reinforcement of timber elements in existing structures
| Resumo: | Wood and engineered wood products, herein also referred to as timber, have been used as structural building material for centuries and countless examples demonstrate its longevity if properly designed, built, maintained and assessed [1, 2]. The more recent development of new engineered wood products, connector systems and growing awareness about sustainability in the construction sector have led to legislative changes in the building sector and as a consequence also a significant widening in the range of structural applications of timber [3, 4]. |
