How this node works
Screwed connectors link the beam, through the decking, to a thin concrete topping: beam and topping then work as one composite section, much stiffer — the modern way to stop an old floor «bouncing» and add mass for acoustics.
Key points
- Collaborating topping + mesh
- Screw connectors
- Decking
- Timber beam
- Composite section (timber-concrete)
