ABSTRACT

The article presents results of analytical and numerical investigations on the effect of reinforcement on the load-carrying capacity and bending rigidity of combined I-beams made of timber and OSB board. The reinforcement effect was achieved by combining, with the assistance of the gluing technique, of a CFRP type carbon composite with wooden elements of the beam. The obtained results were presented in the form of fields of combined states of stresses and deformations in individual beam elements. Calculations were performed on numerical models employing the finite elements method (FEM).

Key words: I-beams, timber, finite elements method (FEM), carbon fibre, stresses, strains, OSB board.
