Abstract:In order to increase the strengthening efficiency, a proposal for strengthening wood beams with hybrid fiber reinforced polymer(HFRP) was suggested. Carbon fiber(CF), glass fiber(GF) and high strength glass fiber(SGF) were chosen as strengthening materials. CF strengthening beams, hybrid CF/GF strengthening beams, and hybrid CF/SGF strengthening beams were produced. A flexural experimental study with 9 strengthened beams and 3 control wood beams was carried out. The failure modes and failure mechanism of the strengthened beams were analyzed. The load displacement characteristics, ultimate moment capacity and ductility of the strengthened beams were investigated. The test results show that, compared with single CF strengthening, HFRP strengthening may significantly increase the ductility of the strengthened wood beams, under the premise of increasing moment capacity. A calculation model for predicting ultimate moment capacity of wood beams strengthened with HFRP was put forward. The calculation results show that it is in agreement with the tested values.
