WOOD RESEARCH 59 (3): 2014 491-498 SEMI-RIGID JOINT OF TIMBER-CONCRETE COMPOSITE BEAMS WITH STEEL PLATES AND CONVEX NAILS Petr Agel, Antonín Lokaj Technical University of Ostrava, Faculty of Civil Engineering Department of Building Structures Ostrava, Czech Republic (Received April 2014) ABSTRACT Thanks to good quality of both materials are today composite timber-concrete constructions suitable solution for new buildings and reconstructions of ceiling constructions of residential or civil buildings. In praxis can be found many ways how to create connection (joint) of timber beam and concrete slab. The methods of coupling are more and more sophisticated which carries bigger demands on control of implementation and technological practice. This paper describes laboratory tests and numerical and analytical modelling of timber-concrete composite beams with semi-rigid joints made of steel plates and convex nails. KEYWORDS: Joint, spruce, concrete, composite, beam, slab, steel, plate, nail. INTRODUCTION Timber ceiling constructions were used profusely for individual housing and civil constructions in the past. These constructions were favoured especially for their light weight, immediate static action and low technological demands on implementation. As time went, timber horizontal constructions were pushed away by prefabricated concrete panels with bigger carrying capacity and better acoustic properties. Today there is increasing demand on economy, ecology and sustainable development of construction. Timber and materials on its base are of organic origin and fulfil all demands stated above. Wood and concrete composites, which ar
