Mechanical Properties Analysis of Steel-Timber Combined Member

Abstract

Steel-timber combined member is a new kind of structural member composed of steel core and timber facing with bolt joint.This paper established the finite element analysis models of cantilever beam, and the finite element models were analyzed by the finite element package ANSYS considering the material and geometrically nonlinear.The results were compared with experimental results.Good mechanical properties were verified with comparison between data abtained from the test and calculated results.
