Model tests on preflexed timber beams
Method of reinforcing timber beams with high strength steel wires; while beam is bent upward by same pattern of loading which it will eventually carry in opposite direction, wires are glued in grooves in its upper and lower surfaces; when beam is straightened under its working load bending moments are resisted by wires, and shearing forces are taken by timber; tests on model beams showed that as bending strengths of these beams are increased, their resistance to shearing forces over long periods becomes their weakest characteristic.
