The paper presents the main conclusions of research on strengthening wooden elements with fibre composites, especially tapes and matting based on carbon CFRP fibres, which was carried out in the laboratories of the Silesian and Wrocław Technical Universities. Research involved testing elements at a technical scale with different load bearing levels. Tests were carried out on elements with both extemal strengthening and also strengthening inserted into strengthened elements. The goal of the paper is to present a straight-forward and effective method for strengthening wooden construction elements using fibre composites.
