Structural Theory and Innovative Technologies for Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Bridges

Structural Theory and Innovative Technologies for Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Bridges examines concrete-filled steel tubular bridges, including arch bridges, truss bridges, piers and towers in cable stayed and suspension bridges. The book considers, in detail, foundational theoretical issues such as: research on the buckling performance of concrete-filled steel tube walls, the static and fatigue performance of joints, the effects of temperature, interface performance, and the confinement effects. The book also proposes design methods for concrete-filled steel tubular bridges and provides engineering design and application examples for concrete- Covers various concrete-filled steel tubular bridge types, including arch bridges, truss bridges, piers, towers in cable stayed and suspension bridges- Critical foundational theoretical issues - including the buckling behavior of steel tubes for the super-size cross section in towers, the static and fatigue performance of the concrete-filled steel tubular joint, steel-concrete interfacial behavior, confinement effect of the members and temperature action of the composite bridge - are covered- New design methods for arch bridges, truss bridges, piers and towers are proposed
