Abstract: This paper concerns the development of a numerical procedure for studying steel–concrete composite beams with regard to both the collapse analysis and long-term behavior at the serviceability limit state. The interaction ...

Abstract: This paper describes tests on a novel composite floor system constructed by connecting prefabricated concrete slabs to timber joists. Seven types of shear connectors have been developed and tested: lag screws, either alone ...

Abstract: The paper investigates the long-term behavior of wood-concrete composite beams with notched connection detail. The experimental program comprised the characterization of the component materials (wood, concrete, and connection ...

Abstract: The paper investigates the influence of cyclic and sustained loading on the performance of layered wood–concrete composite beams interconnected by a notched connection detail. A number of composite beams were conditioned ...

Abstract: Prestressed-laminated timber (Pres-Lam) design has recently been adopted for multistory timber buildings based on ongoing research at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. This system combines large timber members ...

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to investigate the tensile strength of a glass pane with holes, such as that commonly used in glass-to-steel joints. Experimental tests have been conducted on a series of glass panes made of ...
