CFRPS AND TIMBER
Studied since 1960s
Applying CFRP to timber:
Increases Stiffness
Increases overall Ultimate loadCFRP sheet glued to tensile side of timber
(Zhou et al, 2015)

DURABILITY
Timber bridges need to endure environmental exposures that have not been as comprehensively understood for the case of Timber-CFRP composites

OBJECTIVES
Specific objectives:

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Friday, 10 June 16
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Expected Outcome
Scenario 1 (Control)
Beams are expected to be strengthened effectively by their respective techniques
Friday, 10 June 16
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Expected Outcome
Scenario 2 & Scenario 3 (Fresh Water, Salt Water)
It is expected that the wet-state results will be significantly weaker than the dry state results for these scenarios
In the case of Scenario 3, the CFRP should begin to lose mass, weakening the hybrid
Friday, 10 June 16
Expected Outcome
Scenario 4 (UV Radiation)
previous studies suggest that UV radiation could have an effect on the bond
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Friday, 10 June 16
Expected Outcome
Scenario 5 (High Temperature, High Humidity)
The moisture in the air may infiltrate the bond
As temperature approaches Tg the bond will become more ductile.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Friday, 10 June 16
Expected Outcome
Scenario 6 (Low Temperature, Low Humidity)
Bonds can become brittle in cold conditions, cracking may occur
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Friday, 10 June 16
Expected Impact
Safe and Secure Infrastructure
Having a durable method for CFRP reinforcement to timber bridges will make it easier to ensure that all bridges are safe
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
