Abstract
The aim of the current research is to develop a new composite timber-concrete structure element as a prefabricated panel. In the Czech Republic, it is possible to see an increased interest in the constructions of timber and wood-based materials in recent years. Increased productivity is evident particularly in realization of family houses, where the number of realizations was doubled during last year in comparison with the situation five years ago. A little bit worse situation is in realization of multi-storey buildings. To some extent, this may be the result of not only the strict fire safety regulations, but also not so good timber properties in terms of serviceability limit states and acoustics. There is a will to spread this kind of construction in our region and one of the possibilities to help solve these constraints is usage of timber-concrete composites primarily for floor structures.
