Features: The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the design of steel-concrete composite beams. In the second edition, it has been revised according to the new "Code for Design of Steel Structures" (GB50017—2003), supplemented with recent domestic and international research and design findings on composite beams, and analyzes and studies the new provisions for steel-concrete composite beam structures in the code, presenting the author's insights. It also strengthens the connection between steel structure plastic design, concrete beam theory, and mechanical analysis. The book includes nine chapters: Introduction; Basic Design Principles; Internal Force Analysis of Multi-span Continuous Composite Beams; Elastic Analysis of Composite Beam Cross-sections; Plastic Analysis of Composite Beam Cross-sections; Shear Connection Design; Shear Design of Interfaces between Concrete Slabs and Topping; Deflection and Crack Width Checks of Composite Beams; Design and Examples of Composite Beam Floors. The book contains numerous examples for systematic analysis and also proposes some constructive suggestions and design ideas. It is suitable for civil engineering technicians, researchers, teaching staff, and graduate students as a reference, and can also serve as a textbook for undergraduate elective courses in higher education institutions.
