One glu-lam beams was split and delaminated, past repair methods had failed.  The other glu-lam beam had been hit with a front end loader and weakened the structural integrity of the roof. 

The age of the wood beams and years of exposure to harsh environmental factors complicated the repair. Access was dificult.

The repair to the first beam was simple.  Removal of previously failed attempts at strengtrhening of the beam, "squaring off" of the tapered end and sandblasting the beam clean.

We then applied a thickened epoxy to the delaminated areas and installed new clamps to close the gap.  We then applied two layers of carbon fiber (CFRP) cloth wrapping the beam for the full length.  Repair was completed in 3 days.

The other beam that was damaged by a loader required engineering to replace the loss of strength due to sectional loss of the beam.  A carbon fiber plate was designed to be installed to increase the tensile strength.

Damaged areas were cut out, and multiple layers of carbon fibeer (CFRP) material was installed to encapsulate the CFRP plate as well as the wood beam.
