ABSTRACT
This paper summarises a few years’ research on the structural behaviour of composite beams with aluminium girders, i.e., aluminium-concrete composite beams and aluminium-timber composite beams. In the discussed systems, aluminium girders are connected to concrete or LVL slabs using demountable shear connectors. In this paper, the authors present a review of their theoretical, experimental and numerical analyses of the composite beams with aluminium girders. They also summarise the current state of knowledge on this topic.
