This paper introduces a continuous and a non continuous wood-concrete- composite system (wcc-system) which contains a steel mesh connecting wooden beams with a concrete slab and a non continuous wood-concrete-composite system which contains SFS screws connecting the wooden beams and the concrete slab. The shear connector acts as a rigid but ductile moderator between the materials wood and concrete. The system was tested in both shear and bending conditions to allow a better understanding on the structural behavior under ultimate loading conditions. In order to allow a prediction of the non-linear behavior of the specimens a mechanical model was developed. The comparison between actual test and the mechanical model shows a good correlation and puts trust in the simulation of the innovation. The advantages of this system compared to contemporary wcc-system solutions lay in improved strength, stiffness and manufacturing procedures. Its application potential can be found in floor, wall and roof systems of private and commercial buildings as well as in bridge structures.
