Composite Structures of Steel and Concrete

Composite Structures of Steel and Concrete Book By R. P. Johnson

This volume provides an introduction to the theory and design of compos-

ite structures of steel and concrete. Readers are assumed to be familiar

with the elastic and plastic theories for the analysis for bending and shear

of cross-sections of beams and columns of a single material, such as

structural steel, and to have some knowledge of reinforced concrete. No

previous knowledge is assumed of the concept of shear connection within

a member composed of concrete and structural steel, nor of the use of

profiled steel sheeting in composite slabs. Shear connection is covered in

depth in Chapter 2 and Appendix A, and the principal types of composite

member in Chapters 3, 4 and 5.
