This research was conducted to investigate the bending behavior of timber beams strengthened with glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) rods. Seven timber beams of Yellow Meranti species with the di- mensions of 100 × 200 × 3000 mm were tested. One of the beams was used as a control beam (unstreng-...
