Straw-concrete combined floor slabs consist of straw boards, shear-resistant connectors, and concrete slabs. These slabs offer various advantages over traditional reinforced concrete slabs due to the straw boards' properties of excellent insulation and sound absorption. Research using ABAQUS software created 15 composite floor models to study the impact of connection methods, bond strength, connector spacing, and thickness of straw and concrete on the flexural performance. Results indicated that the composite floor slab with adhesive bonding had a 7.34% and 17.34% higher load-carrying capacity than the bolt-connected and self-tapping screw-connected composite floor slabs, respectively. Increasing bond strength from 40 MPa to 60 MPa improved the load-carrying capacity of self-tapping nail-connected slabs by 80.84%. Connector spacing negatively correlated with slab capacity, while increasing the thickness of straw boards or concrete slabs enhanced the ultimate load-carrying capacity, with the latter having a more significant effect. Midspan deflection and flexural capacity were calculated using the converted cross-section method and static calculation formulas, with theoretical and simulated values showing good agreement, offering guidance for engineering applications.

In order to solve the problems of high production cost and complex control of the inverted arch of an unsupported prestressed concrete composite slab, a flange truss high-ductility concrete composite slab floor is proposed to change the structure and pouring material to meet the requirements of no support during construction. The crack distribution and bending performance of the flange truss high-ductile concrete composite slab floor (CRHDCS) under different structures are clarified through the test and numerical analysis of four different rib plate structure floors. According to the analysis results, the calculation formulas of the cracking moment and short-term stiffness before cracking are modified, and the equivalent short-term stiffness formula of a single web member of the "V" truss to this kind of bottom plate is established.

This study addresses this problem by investigating the deformation characteristics of such rocks through triaxial compression tests, and a novel piecewise constitutive model was developed, integrating the Double-strain Hoek model (TPHM) and statistical damage theory. The outcomes highlight several key findings: (1) The experiments revealed a distinct compaction stage in weakly cemented sandstone, which becomes shorter with an increase in confining pressure, highlighting a significant mechanical property of these rocks.

As one of the primary precast components in prefabricated construction, composite slabs have increasingly attracted interest for their costs as well as carbon footprint in production and installation stages. Conventional methods for separating composite slabs can lead to a building project necessitating multiple specifications of composite slabs. Due to the requirement to customize molds for different modulus of composite slabs, the production process experiences a substantial rise in energy consumption and resource waste.

In a slim-floor structural system, beams and slabs are placed at the same level, reducing the overall floor height and material usage in vertical structures, thereby improving economic efficiency. The use of slim-floor structures is common practice in Finnish construction where these structures are typically constructed using hollow-concrete slabs and welded steel box beams. However, in Finland, only a few buildings utilise cross-laminated timber (CLT) slabs in slim-floor structures, and none have incorporated the composite action between CLT and steel beams.
