Timber-steel-hybrid beams for multi-storey buildingsFriday 15 Feb 2013 For modern multi-storey buildings timber-steel-hybrid elements present a very efficient construction method. The combination of these two materials leads to economic and ecologic benefits as the construction height can be optimized, the earthquake resistance can be improved and the assembling can be executed more efficiently. Steel reinforced timber structures are light, fast and clean. Based on research activities of the Institute of Architectural Sciences, Structural Design and Timber Engineering, presented at the WCTE 2010, some static tests on hybrid timber steel beams have been carried out.
