This research aims to compare Timber concrete slabs (TCC) with solid slabs (RC) to show that TCC may be used to minimize building weight and construction costs. Moreover, the purpose of this project is to use CypeCAD software to design a one-way TCC slab and a two-way solid slab, analyze the data supplied in the software, and compare the findings according to the Eurocode standard. The results illustrate that although the timber concrete composite slab is a new constructive solution and is little used in many constructions, it is less expensive compared to the conventional solution adopted in many countries around the world. This system (TCC Slab) accounts for 62% of the total cost of constructing a solid slab with the same size and architecture. Overall, the TCC slab is cost-effective compared to the solid slab with beams, which can reduce 38% of the total cost of construction. Additionally, the results showed that the TCC slab represents a phenomenal potential to be utilized in residential structures from an economic standpoint, as it is less expensive than a two-way solid slab with a beam (RC slab).
