Features: This book elaborates on the basic concepts and advantages/disadvantages of concrete composite structures, summarizes the engineering applications of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete composite structures, especially their application status in water conservancy and hydropower projects. It adopts a combined approach of theoretical analysis and experimental research to explain the mechanical performance of beam (slab) components of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete composite structures, as well as their design methods for flexure-shear capacity. It also covers the verification methods for flexure cracking resistance, crack width, and deformation under load, as well as the verification methods for shear cracking resistance and diagonal crack width under load. Additionally, it discusses the design and construction methods for composite surfaces, as well as the connection design of prefabricated components. As an engineering design example, it briefly introduces the design and construction methods of the composite structure of the large-scale prestressed concrete aqueduct in the Hebei section of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. It also summarizes the application of composite structure concepts in reinforced concrete columns. This book can serve as a reference for engineering professionals and researchers, as well as a textbook for graduate students.
