Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures Using High-Strength Materials

High-strength materials offer alternatives to traditional materials in high-rise construction, but they can be brittle and prone to local buckling. Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures Using High Strength Materials provides guidance on the design of composite steel-concrete structures using combined high-strength concretes and steels. It includes a database of test results and calculations to evaluate design methods and proposes design methods for axial-moment interaction curves in composite columns.

High-strength materials provide an alternative to commonly used materials in high-rise construction. A material with higher strength requires a smaller member size to resist the design load. However, high-strength concrete is brittle, and high-strength thin steel plates are prone to local buckling. To overcome these challenges, a steel-concrete composite design can be adopted. Concrete provides lateral restraint to steel plates against local buckling, while steel plates provide confinement to high-strength concrete.

Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures Using High Strength Materials offers guidance on designing composite steel-concrete structures using combined high-strength concretes and steels. The book includes a comprehensive database of over 2,500 test results on composite columns to evaluate design methods. It also presents calculations to determine critical parameters affecting the strength and ductility of high-strength composite columns. Furthermore, the book proposes design methods for axial-moment interaction curves in composite columns, enabling a unified approach to designing columns with normal- and high-strength steel concrete materials.

This book is a valuable resource for civil engineers, structural engineers, and researchers studying the mechanical performance of composite structures using high-strength materials. It enables them to design and construct advanced tall buildings that are both durable and efficient.
