Composite steel‐timber beams – initial ideas for structural design Since the introduction of the Green Deal and the EU Taxonomy Regulation, pressure in construction market has increased to design load‐bearing structures in addition with a view to greater sustainability. Composite beams in steel‐timber construction can contribute to this. However, reliable calculation rules for steel‐timber composite beams do not yet exist. Working Group 6 of TC11 in the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) deals with hybrid steel‐timber structures and this article presents initial ideas for calculation approaches for steel‐timber composite beams. The problems are tackled that, in contrast to concrete, the material timber has a significant tensile strength and the different types of shear connectors between steel and timber can also show a variety of load‐slip curves. Finally, a first comparison between the presented calculation method and a large‐scale test is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
