830 Advanced FRP composites for structural applications moment capacity with CFRP plates; (b) increasing shear capacity with CRP L-shape and FRP fabrics; (c) strengthening of axially loaded members with CFRP and GFRP; (d) increasing ductility of beams, columns and nodes for seis structural properties, higher safety as a result of bonded-in FRP lamellas, wider truss spacing, reduced foundation costs, use of lower grade timber, and reduced transport volume (WSTI and WCE, 2012). 22.2.3 Design/regulations ‘As already evidenced in the above text, currently and at a European level, no well-established design and detailing calculation methods embracing all techniques have been developed for the on-site use of composite rehabilitation systems in timber and concrete structures. Nevertheless, the development of, suitable design guidance standards is far more advanced in the case of the rehabilitation of concrete structures than of timber structures. Therefore, for most applications the designers of timber structures composite rehabilitation © Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2013,
