How to Make Steel and Timber Act as One Structural System in Australian Residential Design

In a timber-frame dwelling, steel beams and columns must work together with the surrounding timber structure. The critical part of achieving this is how the timber frame is tied into the steel.

One way of connecting the timber wall frame to the steel column is by using screws. This is to stop the stud wall and the steel column from acting independently of each other.
When the timber is properly tied to the steel, the entire system acts uniformly. Loads transfer correctly, and the structure performs as it was designed to.
