FLEXURAL REINFORCING EFFECT OF WOOD PANEL BY EMBEDDING CFRP ROD

In this study, a flexural loading test of a wooden panel with CFRP rods embedded in the longitudinal members of the frame was performed and an experimental investigation was conducted regarding a flexural reinforcing effect of the CFRP rod. As a result, it was shown that the flexural rigidity and failure load of the panel reinforced with CFRP rods were significantly increased compared to the unreinforced panel, and a reasonable correspondence was seen between the calculated value by the equivalent cross-sectional analysis and the experimental result.
