The impasse was only resolved by Jetty's death from a heart attack in April 1878. Strauss promptly remarried an actress, Angela (Lili) Dietrich, but the age difference (she was 27, he was 52), and his compulsive work patterns soon drove a wedge between them.

A composite floor is comprised of a reinforced concrete floor slab and structural steel floor beams acting compositely together. The structure consists mainly of profiled steel decking working together with in-situ reinforced concrete*.
Composite materials for construction, engineering, and other similar applications are formed by combining two or more materials in such a way that the constituents are still distinguishable and not fully blended. One example is concrete, which uses cement as a binding material in combination with aggregate, like gravel, as a reinforcement.
