Timber-steel hybrid beams have been proposed, tested and analysed for their use in multi-storey buildings. Based on successful single span tests, which were presented in previous WCTEs and in the current WCTE 2016, a proposal is made to design semi-rigid joints in order to achieve the objective of timber-based multi-storey frame constructions. The concept of the connection is presented and the quite promising results are shown, which can be seen as a solid basis for the further development of this system.
