Overview
- Provides state-of-the-art information on timber engineering practice
- Demonstrates that when timber structures are reliably maintained and their joints, elements and systems are reinforced, structural failures and unnecessary replacements can be avoided
- Written by leading experts in the field
Part of the book series: RILEM State-of-the-Art Reports (RILEM State Art Reports, volume 33)

About this book
By presenting the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 245-RTE, the book provides an overview of the existing techniques for the reinforcement of timber elements, joints and structures. It consists of two parts: part I examines state-of-the-art information on reinforcement techniques, summarizes the current status of standardization, and covers STS, GiR, FRP and nanotechnology. In part II several applications of reinforcement are discussed: these include traditional structures, traditional timber frame walls, light-frame shear walls, roofs, floors, and carpentry joints.
The book will benefit academics, practitioners, industry and standardization committees interested in the reinforcement of existing timber elements, joints and structures.Editors and Affiliations
