Reinforcement methods of glulam beam with a round hole are proposed and their performance are experimentally and analytically investigated in this report.
There are two types of reinforcement methods, uses steel plates or plywood plates. Both methods are confirmed effective based on experimental results.
The reinforcement method using steel plates is highly practical. Because it is excellent in workability and the steel sheet is thin, it does not affect the finish. Therefore, the effectiveness of reinforcement with steel plates is investigated with the parametric study by using FEM analyses. The result shows a good performance of reinforcement under various conditions.
