This book is aimed at developing elementary analysis skills,
familiarity and an intuitive feel for composite construction that
is required by undergraduate and graduate students, and by
structural engineers. It does not require a prior knowledge of
advanced analysis and design techniques, and builds on simple
concepts such as statics and the mechanics of materials. A topic is
first introduced by a brief description, with numerous
carefully-chosen examples forming an integral part of the main
text. Working through the examples allows the reader to gain a full
understanding of the subject, as a technique is illustrated by its
application to designing new structures, or in the important area
of assessing and upgrading existing structures.
The techniques described for the analysis of standard structures
form a basis for understanding the way composite structures work,
and these techniques are applied to many non-standard forms of
composite construction that are not, or rarely, covered in national
standards. The book is an essential purchase for all undergraduate
and postgraduate students of structural/civil engineering and
architecture, as well as all practising structural and civil
engineers.
Covers practical applications not covered in codes, such as service
ducts, splitting, upgrading existing structures and non-standard
forms of composite construction
Topics are embellished by working through numerous unique and
carefully-chosen examples that form an integral part of the subject
material
Not orientated to specific codes, so that principles can be applied
to any national design standard
