Experimental investigations of load-bearing capacity of composite timber-glass I-beams

This article discusses the load-bearing capacity of composite timber-glass I-beams, which are interesting alternative beams of ceilings and roofs. The reasoning behind the use of timber-glass I-beams is the combination of the best features of both materials - this enables the creation of particularly safe beams with regard to structural stability and post-breakage load capacity. The article is focused on the post-breakage capacity of composite timber-glass I-beams subjected to quasi static bending load and multi-variable bending load. The main purpose of such scope of work was to show the influence of multi-variable loading on the composite timber-glass I-beams.
