Composite Steel-Concrete Buildings

This book provides an introduction to the behavior and design of composite steel-concrete buildings. It covers the latest design methodologies recommended in Eurocodes and Australian standards for composite construction. Design concepts are introduced and derived from fundamental mechanics to outline a clear overview of available guidelines. The basic concepts describing the response of composite slabs, beams, and columns are tied to current developments in industry and academia. Advanced topics are presented where they relate to real structural applications.
