“…It includes theoretical, experimental, numerical, and practical research on the analysis, description, and optimisation of innovative methods and technologies that have been developed and implemented for the strengthening of various types of wood-based structural members.For decades, timber structures and members have been primarily reinforced with metallic materials, most commonly steel members [1,2]. Today, these technologies can be considered traditional, as they are proven and effective in ensuring reliable building operations [3]. Typical solutions include timber-steel composite structures, where steel sections act as reinforcing elements.…”
