Abstract Steel‐timber floors are gaining momentum in the construction industry and are increasingly viewed as an effective solution for delivering lightweight, low‐carbon, and demountable systems. Despite their potential, the composite action between steel and timber is often disregarded. This article examines the bending capacity and stiffness of steel‐CLT composite beams. A strain‐based approach is proposed to evaluate bending capacity and is compared with a conventional and practice‐oriented stress‐based method. Analytical models are also presented to assess the bending stiffness of the composite beams, with particular attention given to the influence of the transverse CLT layers and their deformability.
