Abstract

FRP reinforcement technology, with its numerous outstanding advantages, has been widely applied to the strengthening of timber column structures, making related research of significant social and engineering practical relevance. This paper reviews the research achievements in the axial compression performance of FRP-reinforced timber columns from both domestic and international sources. It analyzes advancements in four aspects: types of FRP, number of FRP layers, the impact of knots, and models of ultimate compressive strength and finite element models. A comprehensive analysis and comparison of existing research shortcomings and unresolved issues are provided. Finally, some references and suggestions for further research and application of FRP-reinforced timber columns are offered.
