Adhesive joints of reinforcing rods and wood are the weakest point in reinforced wooden structures, since they have low shear resistance of the reinforcing rod and contribute to the development of plastic deformations of wooden elements. To achieve elastic operation and increase adhesion to the rods, a reinforced adhesive compound with the inclusion of quartz sand is used. This article examines the operation of a reinforced adhesive joint with various types of core fittings – steel periodic profile, smooth steel and fiberglass. The work of the adhesive joint in solid and glued wood was also recognized as an important factor for the operation of the reinforced adhesive composition. Experimental studies are confirmed by graphs and tables of numerical results, which allows us to establish the reliability of the results obtained and conclude that it is necessary to improve certain methods of manufacturing reinforced wooden structures.

Fiberglass core reinforcement could find its application in wooden structures due to a number of specific practical advantages not inherent in steel rods or other types of reinforcement. However, due to the weak adhesive properties of the surface of fiberglass rods, their full-fledged joint work with wood as a single body is not observed. The study suggests some ways to increase the strength of the adhesive joint of fiberglass reinforcement and wood, such as applying quartz sand to the surface of the rods, grinding the surface of the rods, as well as adding sand-resin casting molds to the adhesive composition. Tests of each of these methods were carried out and the results obtained were compared with the initial model of the adhesive joint, as well as with the calculated model of the adhesive joint in order to determine the most effective method.
