TIMBER-CONCRETE COMPOSITE FLOORS

The interposition of TECNARIA dowel and crampon connectors between the timber beams and the concrete slab allows the two materials to collaborate with each other. The result is structurally efficient structure in which, due to the vertical loads applied, the concrete is mainly under compression and the timber mainly under tension. The composite timber-concrete structure will therefore result stronger and stiffer than a simple timber structure. Dynamic behaviour (vibrations) and sound insulation levels are also greatly improved.
