Abstract
In the field of building construction, mass consumption of wood materials contributes to reforestation and becomes the environmental burden reduction. However, an application to conventional timber structures only such as house has a quantitative limit. A newly developed timber structure that is able to make a large-scale building is expected. The authors are considering a composite steel-timber structure. In this study, bending test of the composite steel-timber beam members is conducted to grasp basic structural performance. Mechanical properties of the members are confirmed by the difference in joint method and width thickness ratio.
