AB  - Steel plate connection is popular in modern timber structures. However, the steel plate may be subjected to corrosion issue due to the presence of moisture in timbers. This paper proposes to replace steel plate with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) plate for connecting timber elements, so that the durability of the timber structure is expected to be improved. An experimental study is presented on the static and fatigue performances of the proposed GFRP-timber bolted connections. Variables including bolt diameter, number of bolt rows, number of bolt columns were selected to understand their effects on the static and fatigue behaviours of the connections. Failure modes, load–displacement curves, static bearing capacities, fatigue lives, stiffness degradations of the GFRP-timber bolted connections were reported. The residue bearing capacities of the connections were tested after the fatigue loading tests to assess the fatigue effect on the connection static behaviour. This study contributes to the understanding of the mechanical behaviour of GFRP-timber bolted connections.
