Concrete-Filled Tubular Members and Connections

Informationen zum Autor Xiao-Ling Zhao is Head of Civil Engineering at Monash University, Australia and Chairman of IIW (International Institute of Welding) Subcommission XV-E on "Tubular Structures". Lin-Hai Han is Professor of Structural Engineering at Tsinghua University, China. He is Vice-President of the China Society of Fire Protection on Steel Construction and Vice-President of the China Society on Steel-Concrete Composite Construction. Hui Lu is a bridge engineer at Pitt & Sherry Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Australia and holds a PhD in civil engineering. Klappentext Concrete-filled steel tubes are a common example of a concrete-steel composite structure, and are particularly useful as columns in high-rise buildings and bridge piers. They can be used in a range of fields, from civil and industrial construction through to the mining industry. This volume explores several aspects of concrete-filled tubes, including construction methods and quality and their effect on performance; confinement; the effects of creep, pre-load, and size; and seismic and post-fire behavior. It also examines mechanics models and concrete-filled double skin tubes and includes worked examples under practical conditions and numerical simulations. Zusammenfassung Using steel and concrete together utilizes the beneficial material properties of both elements. This book not only summarizes the research performed on concrete-filled tubular members and connections but also compares the design rules in various standards (Eurocode 4, AISI-LRFD, ACI, AIJ and Chinese Standard), and provides design examples.
