| Abstract | The purpose of this research is to study the flexural behavior and load carrying capacity of a precast wood-concrete composite beam with a double T section, with a concrete flange and two Yang wood webs. The flange is bonded to the webs by an epoxy glue. Tests were conducted on three full size simply supported beams subjected to a static third-point loading. The cost and the weight of the composite beams are compared with the ordinary reinforced concrete beams to study the feasibility of formers for residential buildings. It is concluded that the use of the composite beams is feasible from both the engineering and the economics standpoints. |
