In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in timber–concrete composite (TCC) floors as a sustainable structural solution. Until now, only few studies have investigated the demounting of TCC floors, which is essential to increase sustainability and improve end-of-life environmental benefits floor system. This study investigates innovative straightforward demountable slab that notche...

Vibrations induced by people walking is one of the most important issue in timber floor design. Low natural frequency and low mass require a careful analysis in order to prevent significant annoyance and to guarantee an acceptable human comfort. This paper is concerned with the assessment of vibration performance of a timber-concrete composite timber floor and a cross laminated timber floor use...

Abstract This study investigates the vibration characteristics of composite timber-concrete floor systems to provide a reliable benchmark for optimizing system designs. paper uses numerical and analytical methods evaluation support more detailed results build comprehensive model future research. Through Strand7 ABAQUS finite element analysis, geometrical layout beam material effects on are thor...

An experimental setup is designed to detect composite delamination damage based on ultrasonic infrared thermography. The ultrasonic infrared thermography system is composed by ultrasonic excitation system, infrared thermal imager and data acquisition system and two damaged composite plate specimens are produced in the experiment. The image processing methods including thresholding, filters, edg...

The aim of the present study was to analyze the osteogenic potential of a biphasic calcium composite material (BCC) with a negative surface charge for maxillary sinus floor augmentation. In a 61 year old patient, the BCC material was used in a bilateral sinus floor augmentation procedure. Six months postoperative, a bone sample was taken from the augmented regions before two titanium implants w...

This paper presents research on a new type of fabricated steel–wood composite floor material in the style slab-embedded beam flange, using test methods and finite element numerical analysis to study flexural load-bearing performance slabs. Through experimental phenomena, failure process mechanism are analyzed, deformation ultimate bearing capacity assessed. model, influence connection mode beam...
