ABSTRACT:
A wood structural member of the present invention, such as a laminated wood beam, a wood I-beam, or truss, includes syntehtic fiber reinforcing panels. The reinforcing panels include multiple synthethic fibers that are arranged parallel to one another and aligned with the longitudinal direction of the panel, and accordingly the wood structure. The fibers are maintained in position by a resin encasement. Preferably, the surface of the reinforcing panel is treated so that the reinforcing panel may be adhered to the structural member with nonepoxy adhesive, such as resorcinol, commonly used in the laminated beam industry.
