1. Development of prefabricated timber-concrete composite floors
Abstract : Timber-concrete composite structures were originally developed for bridges and upgrading of existing timber floors, but finds today new applications in multi-storey buildings. Most of the research performed to date has been focused on systems where "wet" concrete is cast on top of timber beams with mounted connectors. READ MORE

2. Development and Evaluation of Mechanical Joints for Composite Floor Elements with Cross Laminated Timber
Abstract : One of the important issues in the development of a multi-storey timber construction system is the definition of the floor solution. This thesis focuses on the development of composite floor solutions where Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels are used as a base element. READ MORE

3. Behaviour and resistance of composite slabs : experiments and finite element analysis
Abstract : Composite slab flooring systems are used in steel framed buildings as well as in conjunction with concrete, prestressed concrete and timber structures. Composite slabs consist of a thin-walled profiled steel sheet, reinforcement and in-situ cast concrete. READ MORE

4. Bracing of steel bridges during construction; theory, full-scale tests and simulations
Abstract : A number of steel bridges have suffered lateral-torsional failure during their construction due to their lacking adequate lateral and/or rotational stiffness. In most cases, slight bracing can be of great benefit to the main girders involved through their controlling out-of-plane deformations and enabling the resistance that is needed to be achieved.
