Abstract The timber-concrete composite (TCC) slabs have become a preferred choice of floor systems in modern multi
story timber buildings. This TCC slab consisted of timber and a concrete slab which were commonly connected
together with inclined self-tapping screws (STSs). To more accurately predict the fire performance of TCC slabs,
the mechanical behavior of TCC connections under high temperature was investigated by numerical simulation in
this study. The interface slip of TCC connections was simulated by a proposed Finite Element (FE) model at room
temperature, and different diameter and penetration length screws were considered. The effectiveness of this FE
model was… More >
