Abstract
This study presents a new design of a wood–concrete connector that meets ductility and stiffness requirements in accordance with Eurocode 4. An analytical approach and a numerical model developed on Abaqus are proposed. The study is completed by experimental push-out tests and a specially made composite beam. Two types of timber concrete composite (TCC) are considered in this study. The first connector (stud connector), was applied in construction and its performance compared to that of a recently developed connector. The analytical calculation of stiffness was performed using the relevant standard. In addition, different connector configurations and spacing were tested in push-out and beam tests. The results showed that this new connector has interesting characteristics such as stiffness (4,068.12 kNm2) and maximum strength (24,70 kN) compared to existing connectors.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
