Abstrakt: This study focuses on the flexural behavior of timber beams externally reinforced using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP). A non-linear finite element analysis is proposed in order to complete the experimental analysis of the flexural behavior of the beams. An elasto-plastic behavior is assumed for reinforced Timber and interface elements are used to model the interaction between CFRP and timber.The predicted and measured load–midspan deflection response results in addition to the failure modes are compared. It was observed that the predicted FE results are in good agreement with the experimental measured test data.
