Construction method that works with the targeted and force-fit connection of two materials in order to optimally exploit the properties of the materials within the composite component and to reduce the cross-sections. The connection is achieved by means of suitable composite means.
Although any building materials can be joined together, composite construction is primarily steel composite construction (steel and reinforced concrete) or timber composite construction (wood and reinforced concrete). Typical composite components are columns, beams and ceilings.
