Abstract: This paper focuses on the structural behavior and negative bending moment capacity of steel–timber composite (STC) beam-to-column connections with shear tabs. It is hypothesized that timber slabs with relatively high tensile ...

Abstract: Significant advancements have been made in the area of composite structures. Aligned with an innovative design, the motivation behind this research is, first, to make efficient use of timber as an environmentally friendly ...

Abstract: In conventional timber–concrete composite (TCC) beams, timber joists and concrete slabs are connected permanently; however, the permanent timber–concrete connections can hinder repairing and reusing of structural components ...
