Original Abstract

The paper deals with current issues in research of advanced methods to increase reliability of traditional timber structural elements. It analyses the issue of strengthening of bent timber beams, such as ceiling beams in old (historical) buildings with additional concrete slab in combination with externally bonded fibre - reinforced polymer. The study evaluates resistance of a selected group of timber beams only with concrete slab and with additional GFRP reinforcement and observes an increase of beam resistance and decrease of deflection after reinforcing. An elastic (EN 1995) calculation method and evaluation with nonlinear analysis software were used.
