Trial Design of the Composite Steel-Timber Structure

Abstract

<p> In light of the global environment, the authors proposed a building system comprising steel and timber (Hereafter referred to as CSTS), which consist of rolled section steels and timbers. A design method of the CSTS uses the concept of a damage controlled structure and its mechanical model is established based on the previous tests. The design method of the CSTS member for columns and beams are shown and a trial design of the CSTS is conducted using analytical models of building structure.</p>
