Abstract:

After the wood-concrete construction-method was established as an independent branch within the slab-construction division it is now increasingly being used for more demanding constructions. For instance: long span, highly strained floors in industrial and official buildings with advanced requirements towards sound-protection, vibration behaviour and fire protection. Floors, ceilings or walls in residential buildings with demands in prefabrication and swift building-succession. Bridges designed for pedestrians or road-traffic. In this paper a pedestrian bridge, that was finished in summer 2006 in Kayl / Luxembourg, is being displayed. It represents the first bridge in woodconcrete- composite construction worldwide using glued in steel meshes (called HBV-Shear Connectors) as connective members.
