This study studies the mechanical behavior of a lap joint which was reinforced with fiber composite materials or steels. An experimental and numerical analysis were performed to study the strength, stiffness and failure modes of the lap joints. The test results showed that the strengthening effect of sticking carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets is better than that of sticking CFRP bars or steel bars due to the better bonding conditions; therefore, the lap joint reinforced with CFRP sheets was further analyzed using a numerical approach. The strength and stiffness were enhanced by increasing the reinforcement ratio of CFRP sheets. The use of a 0.34% reinforcement ratio made the bearing capacity of the lap joint reach that of the intact beam. The numerical model agreed well with the experiments in terms of stiffness. By analyzing the numerical analysis results, the structural behavior of the lap joint was revealed. A numerical model can be used to predict the stiffness and behavior of spliced beams with lap joints of different sizes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma13184117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,16]],"date-time":"2020-09-16T20:44:13Z","timestamp":1600289053000},"page":"4117","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Experimental and Numerical Analysis of a Reinforced Wood Lap Joint"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3250-1462","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lingpeng","family":"Ye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Baisheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pujian","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, Hangzhou 310014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.1061\/(ASCE)1084-0680(2007)12:4(177)","article-title":"Restoration and strengthening of timber structures: Principles, criteria, and examples","volume":"12","author":"Parisi","year":"2007","journal-title":"Pr.
