Manufacture and structural performance of modular hybrid FRP-timber thin-walled columns

Hybrid FRP-timber (HFT) thin-walled sections are high-performance and lightweight wood-based composite structures, developed to meet an increasing societal demand for sustainable construction. This paper proposes an improved modular manufacturing method for HFT thin-walled sections, which inherits advantages of existing manufacturing approaches while reducing fabrication effort and significantly improving structural performance.
