Abstract

ABSTRACT Experimentations on composite slabs have been carried out during 1 250 days in order to exhibit the behavior of timber-concrete structures in outdoor climatic conditions leading to high moisture content. Successive bending loadings are applied during this test; deflection and slip modulus of joints are studied. Real climatic conditions and moisture contents are recorded. Numerical modeling using FEM (Cast3m) is performed; results show the mechanical influence of the semi-rigidity of connections and the evolution of wood physical and mechanical characteristics during the experimentation. Numerical and experimental results are compared and present a good accuracy.
