Sažetak
In the domain of modern timber structural systems, timber frame constructions distinguish themselves as preferred and commonly used building methods. Their appeal arises from their architectural adaptability and their distinctive attributes, which enable rapid assembly. In this type of structural system, the effectiveness of the connections between beams and columns plays a pivotal role in determining how forces are distributed, ensuring lateral stiffness, and upholding structural safety. Various methods have been developed to ensure column-beam connections in wooden structures. Column-beam connection points deteriorate and get damaged over time. These critical areas need to be strengthened over time. In this study, glulam columns (140 mm × 140 mm) and beams(140 mm × 280 mm), which are often used as load-bearing elements in wooden structures, were used. Columns and beams are connected to each other according to the wooden notching method. Column-beam connection areas are reinforced with carbon, glass, basalt and aramid fiber reinforced polymer fabrics. After the strengthening process, bending tests of the column-beam connection samples were carried out and the load carrying capacity, total amount of energy consumed, and maximum stiffness values were determined. Additionally, FRP damages occurring in the column-beam connection areas were observed during the experiments. The optimal outcomes for encasing column-beam connections have been identified with carbon-based fiber reinforced polymers. Glassbased fiber reinforced polymers yielded the least favorable results. Aramid-based fiber-reinforced polymers demonstrated similar outcomes to those wrapped with carbon-based counterparts. Consequently, it can be deduced that reinforcing column-beam connections with FRP fabrics, be they carbon, aramid, basalt, or glass-based, can markedly enhance their strength and durability, thereby extending their operational lifespan.
