Composite steel-timber structural system

该项目旨在提供一种新型的复合钢-木材系统，减轻行业的许多环境问题，同时通过使用更轻的材料提高效率。它的目标是开发一个独特的组合系统，由钢工字钢梁和预制木板组成，通过螺栓或螺钉提供剪切连接。该项目计划对结构系统进行实验和数值评估，并为这些构件的安全和有效设计制定指导方针。这种新型的轻质复合材料系统将提高建筑的速度，允许解构和再利用，而且由于种植园木材可以隔离二氧化碳，碳足迹很低。

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.
