The optimization of composite timber beam by different reinforcement bars under binding test
摘要
The aim of this paper is to investigate behavior and optimization of the composite beam by different reinforcement bars based on the Cohesive Zone Model (CZM), which is calculated by the Finite Element Method as well as simulated by ABAQUS software. Three types of reinforcement bars, namely, Post-tensioned Tendons, Fiber Reinforced Polymer, and Fiber Glasses Polymers are utilized for enhancement and optimization of the beam. As a result, the strength and sustainability of composite beams are increased based on the number of reinforcement bars and the specimens with three reinforcement bars show better performance than wood specimens. In addition, the performance of the composite timber beam by Three Glass Fiber Reinforced-Polymer bars considerably showed higher performance and greater sustainability than other samples.
