This research was conducted to investigate the bending behavior of timber beams strengthened using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. Five timber beams of Yellow Meranti species were tested. One of the beams was used as a control beam (unstrengthened) while the remaining four beams were...
