Repair and reinforcement of timber columns and shear walls – A review

摘要: This paper provides an overview of state-of-the-art repairing and reinforcing techniques on timber columns shear walls in both research practice. Both projects the laboratory scale real repair/reinforcement are examined. It covers two levels intervention; repair reinforcement elements. The former focuses damaged elements latter enhancing mechanical properties Firstly need to reinforce is discussed, followed by extensive review current for reinforcement. Advantages disadvantages different existing analysed so as inform future practice research. Finally, several important issues, such reversibility long term behaviour, also discussed.
