Coupled Timber – Concrete Ceiling Using Bonded Shear Connectors

Abstract:

This paper deals with the possibilities of using coupled timber-concrete structures by means a glued coupling bar. The described process of static reinforcement is particularly suitable for reconstruction of historic timber ceilings and places where it is necessary to prevent damage to non-supporting structures (e.g. ceiling, plaster, stucco decorations, etc.). The method is also employed in those cases where it is necessary to allow traffic-flow in the rooms below the reconstructed ceiling. The article describes the specific technological process that has been examined in the reconstruction of the ceiling structure of a house on Sokolska Street in Ostrava. Following experimental testing in laboratories at the Faculty of Civil Engineering VSB - TU Ostrava the technology of bonded shear bars under static reinforcement of timber ceilings was first applied and successfully tested in construction practice.
