Abstract
This paper gives the results of an experiment on timber elements reinforced in the tension zone through the application of strips of natural flax, hemp, bamboo and basalt fibers, creating different arrangements and using different quantities. The testing consisted of several stages that concerned wood rafters and beams of low and good quality. The wooden elements were subjected to bending tests that made it possible to measure the increase in capacity and stiffness resulting from the composite reinforcement.
