Behaviour and design of timber-concrete composite floor system... 9 major achievements in meeting 9 sub-objectives have been concluded: 1)Three best types of connection system for timber-concrete composite floors have been identified;2)The characteristic strength and secant slip moduli for these connections have been determined;3)The short-term behaviour of the selected connections defined by their pre- and post-peak responses under collapse load has been established;4)An analytical model for the strength evaluation of the selected connections based on the different possible modes of failure has been derived;5)Easy and fast erected semi-prefabricated timber-concrete composite floor has been proposed;6)The short-term ultimate and serviceability limit state behaviour of timber-concrete composite floor beams under collapse load has been investigated;7)The long-term behaviour of chosen connections defined by their creep coefficient has been determined;8)The long-term behaviour of timber-concrete composite floor beams under sustained load at serviceability limit state condition has been investigated; and 9)Design example and span tables for semi-prefabricated timber-concrete composite floors that satisfy both the ultimate and serviceability limit state in the short- and long-term using the gamma-method have been developed
