Calculation of wooden beams reinforced with polymeric composites with modification of the wood compression area

Abstract

Peculiar features of engineering and numerical calculations of wooden beams reinforced with polymeric composites with the local modification of the wood compression area under an insufficient volume of the initial data have been considered in this article. A technique for determining the physical and mechanical properties of materials and a stress-deformation diagram based on experimental investigation has been described. The enlarged algorithm of engineering calculation on the enumerated geometrical characteristics and numerical calculation by the consecutive loading technique and with correcting of the tangent modulus of elasticity at each step instantiated in PC Lira 10.6 has been presented. Analysis of the stress-strain state of wood-composite beams with local modification of wood has been made. Comparative analysis of engineering and numerical calculations has been performed within the limits of the calculated load. Conclusions on the results of theoretical investigations of the proposed beam construction have been formulated and compared with the existing investigations in the field of reinforcement of beam constructions with polymeric composites.
