Yes, we are thinking to X wrap the joints for strengthening purposes. Bill

Pictures attached. Bill

I am considering the feasibility of using carbon fiber tape to reinforce wood log column-log beam interfaces by wrapping the joint. The logs are approximately 16” in diameter and are an integral part of a building structure. i can supply pictures if it will help. My questions are: Does this idea have merit as applied to wood surfaces? If so: What product would you suggest for the wrapping? What epoxy is recommended? Are there instructions for applying the epoxy? How can we calculate the strength of the wrapping? Are there strength tables?
