Analysis of Mechanical Properties and a Design Method of Reinforced Timber-Concrete Composite Beams

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Based on the loading features of reinforced timber-concrete composite (TCC) beams, a calculation model of their ultimate flexural capacity is established. To verify calculation results, four TCC beams with different degrees of reinforcement were prepared and tested, and a good agreement between test data and calculations was found to exist.
