The diagonal compression and tension tests were carried out under static load according to ASTM-D1037 standards.Main results: Results indicated that using GFRP significantly increased the diagonal compression and tensile strength of L-type corner joints connected by a wood biscuit.Highlights: It is recommended to use the combination of GFRP and epoxy adhesive to have better compression and tensile strength in the corner joints made of MDF-Lam.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRESEARCH10.17475/kastorman.499086WOS:00045432060001230703835035035635618
