This textbook focuses on concrete-filled steel tubular structures formed by placing concrete inside the steel tube. It deals with the mechanical essence of concrete-filled steel tubular members in compression/tension, bending, torsion, shear and the combined effects, the working mechanism of concrete-filled steel tubular members under long-term load, cyclic load, fire exposure and post-fire exposure, and proposes practical design methods based on experimental and theoretical studies and parametric analysis. The content addresses some key technical issues of concrete-filled steel tubular members, such as the mechanical properties of steel and core concrete, the shrinkage and creep of core concrete, the bonding behavior between steel tube and core concrete, the limiting values for the initial stress of steel tube caused by construction load and the void of core concrete, the protective design of concrete-filled steel tubular members under chloride corrosive environment and impactloading, etc. This textbook also discusses the technology and design principles of concrete-filled steel tubular hybrid structures.
