Abstract
In this study investigated the bending moment resistance of L-type doweled joints reinforced with glass-fiber-reinforced polymer woven fabrics (GFRPWF) and basalt-fiber-reinforced polymer woven fabrics (BFRPWF). Dowels produced from Scots pine, oak, beech and chestnut wood were used in the doweled joints. While the GFRPWF and BFRPWF were fixed with epoxy adhesive, the dowels were fixed with polyvinyl acetate (PVAc-D3/D4) glue. Test were carried out to determine the bending moment resistance of doweled joints. Experimental results showed that joints connected with oak dowel has been the highest bending moment resistance, and the joints of Scots pine dowel has been the weakest bending moment resistance. The bending moment resistance of oak dowel was approximately 23%, 33%, and 61% higher than for joints constructed with beech, Chestnut and Scots pine, respectively. The bending moment resistance value reinforced with the BFRPWF (55.62 N.m), and the lowest was in unreinforced joints (32.06 N.m). The mean bending moment resistance of reinforced joints (GFRPWF, BFRPWF) was 31% and 74% higher than unreinforced samples (control), respectively. In general, it has been found that the bending moment resistance of doweled joints is influenced by wooden dowel species and FRP types.
