“…Reinforcing wooden beams and columns with durable and economical materials, such as glass and carbon fi bers, can optimize this versatile material and increase its load carrying capacity, making possible and easier, for instance, the restoration of historic buildings (Johns and Lacroix, 2000;Alam, 2009;García, 2016). There are several studies in the literature about reinforcing wooden structural members with composite materials (Ramage, 2016;Cestari, 2013;Burawska, 2015;Dewey, 2018). Some works have characterized Erisma uncinatum species, though the studies didn't consider applying preservative treatment or any reinforcement on the wood surface.…”
