In this study, timber column–sill joints strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) plates using bonds and screws were subjected to loading tests. Twelve joint specifications were considered depending on different combinations of the CFRP plate surface finish and thickness and the type of bond, and the corresponding effects on the load–displacement behavior of the joints were investigated. Three failure modes were observed in addition to the peeling of the CFRP plate. The specimens that failed owing to screw tear out and screw head pull-through in the CFRP plate or splitting of the sill showed load–displacement curves of a similar shape. |
