Strengthening Wood Beams and Joists
The seminar provides practical guidance on the subject of strengthening existing wood beams and joists. The presentation covers structural evaluation of existing flexural members of both sawn and engineered lumber and the available options of their strengthening. The discussion includes not only the commonly used methods of strengthening but also those less known. The former include adding framing (“sistering”), shortening the span, or replacing the framing; the latter, adding bottom plates of wood or fiber-reinforced plastic and post-tensioning. A number of design examples and details illustrate the strengthening methods being discussed. The seminar is co-sponsored by ASCE's Structural Engineering Institute and ASCE Continuing Education.
