Abstract
The most sustainable material used in building is wood. In addition to being an anisotropic material, the presence of defects in wood has a significant impact on the mechanical characteristics of glued laminated timber. Innovations in the field of materials has a significant role in economic success. The process of upgrading timber structures using fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) has grown intensively in the last decade. It was the combination of these two materials that resulted in the improvement of the mechanical characteristics of glued laminated structures in terms of load-bearing capacity and stiffness. The paper presents an analysis of experimental research in the field of using FRP strips to improve the mechanical characteristics of glued laminated timber, a comparison of the research results, as well as a numerical analysis of the experimental model.
