Analytical Approach to Predict Pre–Camber Deflection of the Pre-stressed Glulam Beams

A new approach to reinforce glulam timber beams using compressed wood (CW) has been developed by the Author. The compressed wood blocks are inserted into pre-cut holes on the top of glulam beams to produce pre-camber and to generate initial tensile and compressive stresses on the top and on the bott...
