A connector for connecting a wood substrate to a concrete layer. The connector comprising a shank adapted to engagement with a bore in the wood substrate with a length of the shank aligned with a central axis of the bore, the shank having at least an external portion made of a cement-based composition. In the built-up system, the connectors can have transversal ductile collapse characteristics providing a structural ductility of at least 50% to the built-up system with the wood substrate and concrete layer maintaining an elastic behaviour upon the transversal ductile collapse of the plurality of connectors.

A cellulose-based structural building panel assembly includes a cross-laminated timber (CLT) core which is reinforced with one or more post-tensioned tendons stressed to a pre-selected tensioning force, following the placement as part of the panel assembly. The tendons are provided within a sleeve which is grouted with a channel formed in an underside of the core and which after post-tensioning of tendons is infilled with a binder securing the tendons in a fully bonded configuration.

A structural floor system generally consisting of a grid of intersecting modular trusses, pre-stressed wire strand system and concrete decking. U or C-shaped cold-formed or hot-rolled profiles are used to form the prefabricated modular trusses. Assembling the trusses in two-way creates a grid of intersecting trusses. By running the wire strand from the truss grid, the tension force applies to the floor system. A pre-stressed truss grid accompanying with a reinforced concrete slab above, forms a composite structural floor system which is ideal for floor covering in wide spans in multi-story constructions. A method for assembling such a system is also disclosed.

This invention refers to a structural system for floor and roof construction, based on a parallel arrangement of a set of composite pre-tensioned girders to provide support to a deck formed by layers of any given material. The composite girders are components formed by lengths of bamboo culms, steel components and fillings of mortar or other materials, arranged in such way that a maximum mechanical efficiency is obtained.

A wood-concrete composite slab having a planar wood element, by means of which spans with little dependence upon the relative inherent weight of the slab are achieved. The slab layer construction includes a wood layer, an insulating layer, and a concrete layer. In one embodiment, the layer construction is interrupted by at least one bearing means, in that this bearing means traverses at least the concrete layer and the insulating layer and extends downward at least as far as the wood layer. In a different embodiment, for a high level of soundproofing, the slab comprises in its insulating layer two different-density insulating materials, wherein the denser insulating material rests directly on the wood layer, acting as a vibration damping means. In a further embodiment, the wooden panels of the wood-concrete composite slab that form the planar wood element are tensioned against one another in order to convey tensile forces therethrough.
