Steel and composite steel–concrete structures are widely used in modern bridges, buildings, sport stadia, towers, and offshore structures.
Analysis and Design of Steel and Composite Structures
offers a comprehensive introduction to the analysis and design of both steel and composite structures. It describes the fundamental behavior of steel and composite members and structures, as well as the current design criteria and procedures given in Australian standards AS/NZS 1170, AS 4100, AS 2327.1, Eurocode 4, and AISC-LRFD specifications.
Featuring numerous step-by-step examples that clearly illustrate the detailed analysis and design of steel and composite members and connections, this practical and easy-to-understand text:
Covers plates, members, connections, beams, frames, slabs, columns, and beam-columns
Considers bending, axial load, compression, tension, and design for strength and serviceability
Incorporates the author’s latest research on composite members
is an essential course textbook on steel and composite structures for undergraduate and graduate students of structural and civil engineering, and an indispensable resource for practising structural and civil engineers and academic researchers. It provides a sound understanding of the behavior of structural members and systems.
