Features: The new theories of concrete-filled steel tube structures discussed in this book are summarized by Professor Zhong Shantong, a renowned international expert in steel structures, based on nearly 40 years of research. The content elaborated in the book represents internationally leading achievements, reflecting the theoretical exploration and engineering practice of Chinese scholars in maintaining an international leading level in the field of concrete-filled steel tube structures. The "Unified Theory" employs computer technology to derive the typical stress-strain relationship curves of basic components of concrete-filled steel tubes through numerical analysis based on the constitutive relationships of steel and concrete, and obtains unified design formulas. The proposal and establishment of the "Unified Theory" mark the entry of research on concrete-filled steel tube structures into a new height and lay 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. The book introduces the Unified Theory of concrete-filled steel tubes, the working performance of circular concrete-filled steel tubes, the strength of concrete-filled steel tube components, the stability of concrete-filled steel tube components, and the bearing capacity of components under various load conditions.
