26. It is evident from figure that, similarly to the classical reinforcement with BMF steel diagonals presented in Dobrila and Premrov (2003), there is practically no influence on stiffness of any reinforcement before appearance of cracks in the un-strengthened FPB. It is evident from figure that, similarly to the classical reinforcement with BMF steel diagonals presented in Dobrila and Premrov (2003), there is practically no influence on stiffness of any reinforcement before appearance of cracks in the un-strengthened FPB. This is logical because in this case the reinforcement is practically not activated at all and its stiffness in comparison to the stiffness of un-cracked FPB is small. After appearance of the first crack in the un-strengthened test samples (Fcr,uns = 17.67 kN) the influence of the CFRP strips is obvious and it depends on the strip’s dimensions as well as on the boundary conditions between the strips and the timber frame.

28. Conclusions for G1 and G2 test groups Beside the fact that samples G1 and especially G2 demonstrated higher load-carrying capacity than samples G3, it is important to mention that samples G1 and G2 produced substantially smaller slip than samples G3, which never exceeded 1mm at the first crack forming. Beside the fact that samples G1 and especially G2 demonstrated higher load-carrying capacity than samples G3, it is important to mention that samples G1 and G2 produced substantially smaller slip than samples G3, which never exceeded 1mm at the first crack forming. Therefore it can be assumed that the yield point of the fasteners was not achieved before cracks appeared at all! Therefore it can be assumed that the yield point of the fasteners was not achieved before cracks appeared at all! Consequently, the walls tend to fail because of the crack forming in FPB. In this case of strengthening the ductility of the whole wall element (see Fig. 6 for samples G1 and G2) practically coincides with the “ductility” of FPB, as proposed with d1 and d2 coefficients. Consequently, the walls tend to fail because of the crack forming in FPB. In this case of strengthening the ductility of the whole wall element (see Fig. 6 for samples G1 and G2) practically coincides with the “ductility” of FPB, as proposed with d1 and d2 coefficients.

29. In contrast, in G3 model, where the CFRP strips were unconnected to the timber frame, the slip (Δ) between the FPB and the timber frame was evidently higher than in samples G1 and G2, and exceeded 3mm when the first crack in FPB appeared. In contrast, in G3 model, where the CFRP strips were unconnected to the timber frame, the slip (Δ) between the FPB and the timber frame was evidently higher than in samples G1 and G2, and exceeded 3mm when the first crack in FPB appeared. The load-displacement relation (F-Δ) of the fasteners was in this case at the force which produced first cracks almost completely plastic. The load-displacement relation (F-Δ) of the fasteners was in this case at the force which produced first cracks almost completely plastic. Since the tensile strength of FPB is essentially improved, the walls tend to fail because of fastener yielding. Although the fibreboards in samples G3 demonstrated practically no deformation capacity (d3 ≈ 1.0, Eq.14) the ductility is formed (F-w diagram) over the fasteners yielding.
