Composite floor: round log with concrete deck


Timber and concrete can work as a composite structure with timber carrying the tensile stresses and concrete the compressive. Shear connection is achieved in a variety of ways, including the use of shear keys or studs between the timber and the concrete. Systems using round logs have been in service as bridges in Australia for almost fifty years.

Composite floor: sawn member with concrete deck


Timber and concrete can work as a composite structure with timber carrying the tensile stresses and concrete the compressive.
