The subject of this paper is the structural solution on the joisted floor when the timber joist of composite cross-section and the concrete slab are interconnected via a special semi-rigid connection and form a timber-concrete joisted floor composite element. Its tension bottom flange is formed of solid timber boards, the web is formed of oriented strand boards (OSB) and the compressive top flange is formed of a concrete slab into which a part of the web is let in. Studies were carried out on two types of connectors in this part of the web between OSB and concrete slabs that should increase the stiffness of this connection. Theoretical and experimental researches on inter-behaviour of connections of the sub-components of timber-concrete composite joisted floor were carried out, the obtained results are provided and evaluated.
