Features: The new theory of concrete-filled steel tube structures discussed in this book is a summary of Professor Zhong Shantong's research over nearly 40 years. The content elaborated in the book represents internationally leading achievements, reflecting the theoretical exploration and engineering practice of Chinese scholars in the field of concrete-filled steel tube structures, maintaining an international leading level. The "Unified Theory" applies computer technology to derive the typical stress-strain relationship curves of basic components of concrete-filled steel tubes based on the constitutive relationships of steel and concrete, and obtain unified design formulas through numerical analysis. The proposal and establishment of the "Unified Theory" mark the research on concrete-filled steel tube structures entering a new height and laying a solid theoretical foundation for its development. This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering, as well as a reference for civil engineering technicians and researchers.
