An Innovative Prefabricated Timber-Concrete Composite System
(2014) RILEM International Symposium on Materials and Joints in Timber Structures 9. p.507-516- Abstract
- A novel type of timber-concrete composite floor, consisting of longitudinal glulam beams with a fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) slab on the top is proposed. In order to check some relevant mechanical properties of such a floor, full-scale laboratory tests along with numerical analyses were carried out. The shear connector system used in the investigation consisted of self-tapping screws driven at an angle of 45 degrees to the grain direction of the glulam beams. The manufacture of the structure occurred according to the following steps: (a) the screws were inserted on the top of the glulam beams; (b) the beams were rotated 180 degrees about the longitudinal axis and placed in a concrete formwork; (c) the FRC was cast into the formwork; (d)...

Long term tests and quasi-static bending tests were performed. It was found that the proposed connection system showed a very high degree of composite action both during the long-term testing and at load levels close to the failure load. Furthermore, the assembly of the prefabricated timber-concrete composite system revealed to be very fast and easy. (Less)
