The article presents results of an experimental studies on reinforcement of pine beams made from glued laminated timber with subsurface basalt fibers (BFRP). An experimental research program was presented, in which the bending strength of glued laminated timber of middle and lower quality class was increased after using BFRP basalt fabrics. Thanks to the use of BFRP reinforcement, an average load capacity increased by 47% and stiffness by 6% in comparison to non-reinforced elements. Based on the research, it was found that the use of BFRP basalt fabrics is an effective method for strengthening damaged wooden elements. Thus, it is an environmentally friendly method of improving the static work of structural elements by combining wood with other natural materials such as basalt fiber reinforced polymers.

This paper compares the performance of structural steel beams retrofitted with two different fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) fabrics: Carbon FRP (CFRP) and Basalt FRP (BFRP) fabrics. A total of eight steel beams with and without corrosion defect in the flexural tension zone were tested under 4-point bending load. The study found that the use of both FRP fabrics resulted in reduced ductility, however, ductility of beams retrofitted with BFRP fabric is much higher than that of the beams retrofitted with CFRP fabric of similar thickness. The study also found that both FRPs fabrics are effective in increasing the ultimate load, yield load, and elastic stiffness of beams, however, number of BFRP fabric layers required is higher than the number of CFRP fabrics. The structural behavior of steel beams including the complex behavior of rupture in the FRP fabrics were successfully modeled using a commercially finite element software and a good correlation was obtained between the finite element models and the lab specimens. Validated finite element model was used to obtain additional information that could not be obtained from the experimental study. This study concludes that the Basalt fabric offers a competitive and green alternative to the Carbon fabric.
