Abstract:

To improve the performance and durability of timber structures,fiber reinforced plastics(FRP) com- posites are increasingly being used as reinforcement for wood.A summarize of the status in quo of the research on the interface bond properties between FRP and wood is made in this paper.Some problems in the research are ad- dressed.Considering the bright future of FRP in the reinforcement of timber structures,there are still many fields needing be studied in the future.

Key words: FRP, wood, reinforcement, interface bond properties
