Abstract
Epoxy resin bonded systems for structural timber are used to reinforce existing timbers to accommodate an increase in load or to repair or replace parts of structural members which have deteriorated through decay, insect attack, mechanical damage or structural failure. This Wood Information Sheet provides an overview of the ways in which epoxy resins are currently used in repair work and outlines aspects where current and future research can provide additional information to ensure the long-term performance of such systems.
