| description abstract | A large number of timber bridges are at the end of their service life in North America and the prohibitive costs of replacement make owners face the challenge of developing efficient rehabilitation techniques. This paper presents the results from an experimental program of testing old full scale timber stringers with longitudinal splits. Stringers were reinforced for shear and bending using glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets. A total of nine full-scale Douglas-fir beams were tested in three-point bending after strengthening for flexure and shear with GFRP sheets. Horizontal shear forces in shear reinforcement were calculated using a simplified model. Beams that failed by debonding of shear reinforcement, failed at horizontal shear forces within the range of | |
