DESIGN OF HIGH STRENGTH STEEL REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS A EUROCODE 4 APPROACH (PB 2021) Paperback

This book addresses the need for guidance on designing high-strength steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns, extending beyond the scope of Eurocode 4. With the narrower range of concrete and steel material strengths allowed in comparison to Eurocode 2 and 3, and considering the superior ductility and buckling resistance of SRC columns over pure steel or reinforced concrete, there is a clear requirement for advanced design techniques. It focuses on the design of SRC columns using high-strength materials, including concrete with cylinder strength up to 90 N/mm², structural steel with a yield strength up to 690 N/mm², and reinforcing steel with a yield strength up to 600 N/mm². The companion volume offers detailed worked examples for using these materials. Primarily aimed at structural engineers and designers with a basic understanding of EC4 design, this book will also be beneficial for civil engineering students at both undergraduate and graduate levels studying composite steel-concrete design and construction. The design resistance equations are presented in a straightforward manner, making it easy to integrate them into design spreadsheets for practical use.
