Abstract

High-Performance fiber has used in construction, car and airplane manufacture to hoist heavy materials. The High-Performance fiber generally consists of carbon, glass and polyester, for example. This study focuses on High-Performance fiber webbing, which is made from Aramid fiber. Aramid fiber has characteristics such as high strength, thermal resistance and elasticity. This paper aims to develop a method of quick reinforcement on timber wall using High-Performance webbing. This paper suggests jointing method on timber wall by screws and using specially designed joints. Experimental study is carried out to investigate tensile strength of the webbing with screw joint. As a result, the tensile strength increases as numbers of screws. In addition, this paper shows experimental results of in-shear test on the timber walls. In the end, this study will inform the application webbing is valid for strengthen toughness of timber walls at the large deformation. In the future, we will investigate more detail method of constructing webbing with screw joints and design the special joint to avoid the initial damages on the webbing.
