A total of four different retrofit configurations were investigated along with a fifth alternative for restoring previously damaged beams. Increases in resistance and maximum deflection in the range of 1.35-1.66 and 1.3-1.62, respectively, were obtained when FRP tension laminates with and without confinement were used. Partial-length and full-length confinement prevented premature debonding and significantly altered the failure mode from simple tension failure to a combination of brash tension and compression failure while limiting the damage to a small region. The results also showed that the addition of FRP contributed to an increase of 1.17 in the tensile failure strain relative to the unretrofitted beams. A material predictive model that accounts for strain-rate effects was developed using experimental stress-strain relationships determined from coupon tests. The proposed model compared well with resistance curves obtained from full-scale testing of glulam beam elements subjected to simulated blast loading.&amp;nbsp;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
