Abstract: A finite-element model (FEM) is developed to predict the load-displacement behavior of a composite wood-concrete floor/deck system under short-term loading. The interlayer connection was modeled with link elements dedicated ...

Abstract: This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model for capturing the time-dependent behavior of layered wood-concrete composite beams with notched shear key interlayer connections, subject to long-term static ...

Abstract: This paper describes the behavior of wood-concrete composite beams in which the wood layer is composed of recycled utility poles. Two full-scale laboratory specimens of

Abstract: The addition of vertically oriented shear spikes (fiberglass reinforced polymer rods) was shown to increase the effective stiffness of the stringers of a full-scale timber bridge chord specimen. Results found from the ...
