This book presents a numerical analysis of the structural performance of hardwood timber beams with cross-sectional loss, with emphasis on techniques for restoring flexural stiffness under service conditions. The study is based on parametric simulations carried out using the finite element method, in which different scenarios of geometric deterioration and strengthening strategies are investigated. Solutions based on screwed steel plates and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems are comparatively evaluated, considering the influence of timber strength class, defect location and...

This volume addresses the growing need to critically reassess classical analytical formulations in light of high-fidelity numerical simulations. The book brings together four complementary studies covering isotropic beams, orthotropic CLT panels, and sandwich composites with discontinuous honeycomb cores. By systematically confronting traditional design models with three-dimensional finite element analyses and updated predictive formulations, the book provides a rigorous evaluation of stiffness estimation methods. Its objective is to contribute to more reliable and rational structural design...
