Abstract: Wood–concrete composites are floor and deck systems, which are comprised of a concrete slab integrally connected to wooden beams beneath by means of a shear connector. Use of a shear connector can significantly improve a ...

Abstract: Experimental methods for the characterization of shear strength and stiffness of both wood-based and glass-based or carbon-based composite materials are highly contested because shear properties are difficult to isolate ...

Abstract: A stochastic-based method of evaluating the interaction parameter (

Abstract: This paper introduces a new, structural wood–concrete composite system. The system is formed by joining a wood component, such as a floor beam or laminated plate, to a concrete slab utilizing a continuous steel mesh of ...

Abstract: This study proposes a new type of mass timber system in the shape of a T-beam. A well-proven and effective configuration for concrete and metal structures, T-shaped cross sections are not common for mass timber, yet they ...
