Single Skin and Double Skin Concrete Filled Tubular Structures : Analysis and Design

Steel-concrete composite structures, including concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures and concrete-filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) structures, have seen a significant increase in use in the modern construction industry due to their superior structural performance compared to conventional steel bare sections and reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Single Skin and Double Skin Concrete Filled Tubular Structures presents state-of-the-art in CFST and CFDST structures and their performance under various static loading conditions. The book establishes a foundation for understanding the structural performance of composite structures by discussing the behavior of CFST and CFDST structures based on experimental and finite element (FE) investigations. Besides, numerical and analytical methods for investigating the behavior of CFST and CFDST structures are presented in detail. The title offers many design examples following international design codes, including North American design guidelines ANSI-AISC 360, European design regulations Eurocode 4, and Australian design code AS 5100. The title can be used for the practical use of civil engineers and as a resource for further research.
