Comparison among normal and rubberized concrete for timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors: Push-out tests with inclined screws in multiple configurations
Experimental tests compare performance of normal and rubberized concrete in timber-concrete composites, suggesting implications for sustainable construction.
Key Points
The research compares ordinary concrete and rubberized concrete in timber-concrete composite floors to determine performance differences.
Conducted experimental push-out tests on 56 specimens
Varied types of concrete (ordinary vs. rubberized)
Utilized screws at different inclination angles for connections
Applied ANOVA analyses to assess results
Rubberized concrete exhibits lower stiffness and shear strength but greater ductility
Acceptable performance is maintained in certain configurations with inclined screws
Type of concrete alone has no significant influence on push-out performance
Inclination angle significantly affects performance based on concrete type
