Composite steel-timber structural system

该项目旨在提供一种新型的钢木复合系统，解决该行业的许多环境问题，同时通过使用更轻的材料来提高效率。其目的是开发一种独特的组合系统，由钢I形截面梁和预制木板组成，通过螺栓或螺钉提供抗剪连接。该项目计划通过实验和数字评估结构系统，并制定这些构件安全有效设计的指导方针。这种新型轻质复合材料系统将提高建筑速度，允许解构和再利用，并且由于种植园木材会封存二氧化碳，因此碳足迹较低。

This project aims to deliver a novel composite steel–timber system that alleviates many of the environmental concerns of the industry, while improving efficiency by using lighter materials. It aims to develop a unique composite system comprised of steel I-section beams and prefabricated timber slabs, with shear connection being provided by bolting or screws. The project plans to assess the structural system experimentally and numerically, and to craft guidelines for the safe and efficient design of these members. The novel lightweight composite system would enhance the speed of construction, allow for deconstructability and reuse and, because plantation timber sequestrates carbon dioxide, have a low carbon footprint.
