About

Research on Steel-Timber Composite beams with a focus on the behaviour of shear connectors, which enables the composite action between steel and the composite material for the slab and the influence of them on the behaviour of the composite beams as well as the boundaries of the system. Additional Research on Development of asymmetric box slim floor beams (AM-SeTi) for a more sustainable construction. With a focus on load bearing behaviour as well as shear and displacement behaviour. Research Assistant: Adil AHMAD PhD-Thesis Title (under development): Steel-Timber Composite Beams – Load bearing, displacement- and failure behaviour of materials, components and beam in steel-timber composite construction, with a focus on shear connection
