Standards Development

Scope

(1) EN 1995-1-3 gives design rules for timber-concrete composite structures.

(2) EN 1995-1-3 provides requirements for materials, design parameters, connections, detailing and execution for timber-concrete composite structures. NOTE: Recommendations for environmental parameters (temperature and moisture content), design methods and test methods are given in Annexes.

(3) EN 1995-1-3 covers the design of timber-concrete composite structures in both quasi-constant and variable environmental conditions. It provides design rules for quasi-constant environmental conditions rules for variable environmental conditions.

(4) EN 1995-1-3 excludes details for the design of glued timber-concrete composites and systems relying on friction. NOTE For design of bridges see EN 1995-2.

Purpose

CEN/TS 19103 Eurocode 5 - Design of timber structures - Part 1-3: Timber-concrete composite structures was finalized in 2021 covering building techniques widely used across several European countries. The TS was written as part of the 1st generation of Eurocodes. The technical specification will be transformed into an European Standard published as part of future 2nd generation Eurocodes. Experience from use of CEN/TS 19103 will be included.
