Development of high performance steel skinned-concrete composite structural systems for built infrastructures

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Steel-concrete composite construction is very often adopted in high-rise buildings, long-span bridges and roof structures. Its advantages include speed and ease of construction, inherent ductility, and structural efficiency with large strength-to-weight ratios as well as large flexural rigidities against instability and serviceability problems. Hence, advances in steel-concrete composite structures are important to practicing engineers/designers/organizations especially with an increase demand for infrastructural developments in Canada over the next decade.
