TCC Norms
In addition to EC 5 »Design and construction of timber structures«, the HBV shall be standardised. In preparation for this, several research institutions in Europe are currently working on a technical specification.
Properties of TCC
- Large load spans
- low dead weight
- good fire resistance
- good sound insulation
- low susceptibility to vibration
- prefabrication possible
Activating the screed together with the timber beams to create a supporting structure
If the screed - in the ideal case a liquid cement screed - is bonded to the timber beams by means of SFix bolts, the resulting composite structure become as highly effective design. The load take-up is tripled, and the vibration resistance of the timber-beamed ceiling can now be proven easily - thanks to the enormous increase in rigidity, as a rule by a factor of 10. Depending on requirements, footfall sound-deadening matting may now be placed on the timber-concrete substrate, followed by a dry screed, which will serve as support for a floor covering (parquet, tiles, etc.).
