Collected data on bending, vibration, and push-out tests of shallow steel-timber composite beams-Nordic system.

ABSTRACT: In a slim-floor structural system, beams and slabs are placed at the same level, reducing the overall floor height and material usage in vertical structures, thereby improving economic efficiency. The use of slim-floor structures is common practice in Finnish construction where these structures are typically constructed using hollow-concrete slabs and welded steel box beams. However, in Finland, only a few buildings utilise cross-laminated timber (CLT) slabs in slim-floor structures, and none have incorporated the composite action between CLT and steel beams. This paper presents the laboratory test results of combining CLT slabs and asymmetric welded box beams (WQ-beams) to further assess their potential in optimising structural performance. The structural behaviour of the test constructio
