Repair of Structural Timbers. Part 1. Tests on Experimental Beam Repairs
The report describes tests which were made on a range of traditional and modern jointing techniques for the repair or upgrading of load-bearing timber members. The aims were to assess the mechanical performance of such techniques and to develop methods by which they might be assessed and compared. The repair techniques that were investigated included various forms of traditional scarf joints reinforced with pegs, wedges, bolts or screws; a face-halved scarf joint made with fifty-eight steel dowels; and a joint made with steel reinforcing rods bonded into the timber members with epoxy resin. A whole beam upgraded by the latter technique was also tested. The joints were tested in timber beams made of English oak, Canadian Douglas fir and European whitewood glulam, and their mechanical performances were evaluated according to their strength and stiffness.
