Applications of aluminium and concrete composite structures

摘要

The paper presents exemplary applications of aluminium and concrete composite structures. It discusses arguments for using these structures and reasons why in some cases it is advisable to replace a steel beam with an aluminium beam. Additionally, the article aims at analysing aluminium and concrete structures as a part of sustainable development. To this end, an analysis of materials used in aluminium and concrete composite structures was conducted. Moreover, the article presents a new method of joining an aluminium beam and a concrete slab, which may have a practical application.
