ABSTRACT

I beams with OSB glued web and different flanges (wood, glulam, LVL),
Glulam - Glass Fibre Pultruded plates composites beams.

Static bending and vibratory bending were performed on the 4 m long specimens to assess the stiffness of the products. After a description of the tests, detailed analysis of the vibration spectrum, statistical analysis of data, comparison between the two types of tests will be given in this paper.
