Hybrid glulam timber beam reinforced with deformed steel bar (rebar) and epoxy resin adhesive is reported on followings:
1. Review of works of the hybrid timber beam, importance of increasing bending stiffness under short-term loading by 3-4 times of those of conventional glulam timber beam, and target of this study are described.
2. The hybrid timber beam adopted a large amount of rebar was tested by short-term loading.
3. Equations for allowable moment, bending strength, moment-curvature of the hybrid timber bam are proposed.
4. Equations for shear deformation of the hybrid timber beam are also proposed.
