This paper describes wood-concrete structural members in which the interlayer connection is achieved with adhesives, by overlaying the fresh concrete over the top of a wood layer to which moisture tolerant adhesive coating was applied a short time before the casting. Laminated wood-concrete structural members could be built as beams or slabs. Experimental results presented on eight laminated wood-concrete beam specimens subject to static loading indicate that the load capacity of the laminated wood-concrete beams exceed the performance of the classical wood-concrete beams which use shear notches cut into the wood for the interlayer connection.
