Long-term analysis of timber-concrete composite (TCC) structures is a challenging task owing to the time-dependent behaviour of timber, concrete and connections which are highly nonlinear under variable environmental conditions (i.e. temperature, humidity). In this paper an efficient numerical method that takes advantage of a finite element-finite difference (FE-FD) scheme is presented. The differential equations governing the long-term behaviour of TCC section under variable humidity are solved using the FD scheme and the differential equations governing the mechanical behaviour of the composite beam are solved by a FE formulation recast in the framework of force-interpolation concept. The comparison between experimental data and numerical results shows the sufficient accuracy of the proposed FE-FD model for capturing long-term behaviour of TCC members. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
