Features: This book first introduces some typical examples of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) engineering projects. It systematically elaborates on a series of key issues in the design of CFST structural components, such as design calculations under both initial loading and long-term load effects, verification of the influence of initial stress in steel tubes, the impact of component section dimensions, seismic calculations, fire resistance design, and damage assessment after fires, covering the fundamental principles and methods. The book also discusses some novel CFST structures, such as thin-walled CFST, high-performance concrete-filled steel tubes, and hollow-core CFST, explaining their working principles and design calculation methods, as well as typical structural measures and calculation methods for CFST joints. The book addresses certain issues related to the production, construction, and quality control of CFST. Finally, it provides examples of CFST structural design calculations. This book is suitable for use and reference by civil engineering structural designers, constructors, supervisors, researchers, and faculty and students of relevant disciplines in universities and colleges.
