Given the strength and stiffness that can be achieved, with minimum use of materials, composite construction dominates the non-residential multi-storey building sector.
Through an academic and industry survey of the state of the art of steel/concrete composite structural systems, this research project will produce an analysis of steel/concrete composite applications in the construction market.
Through a research project, CTBUH and constructsteel have partnered to investigate existing and proposed best-practice steel-timber case studies and conduct a full life cycle analysis comparison across different material and structural types.
