Features: Since the first edition of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Arch Bridges (originally titled Design and Construction of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Arch Bridges) was published in 1999, great progress has been made in the application and theoretical research of concrete-filled steel tubular arch bridges in China. The second edition has undergone substantial revisions and additions based on the first edition, expanding from eight to twelve chapters, with over 80% of the content updated. This book primarily introduces the theoretical and technical foundations of the application of concrete-filled steel tubular arch bridges, structural systems, construction details, and design calculations, as well as construction techniques, long-life concept-based construction, management, and maintenance. It also covers research findings in the design and calculation theory of concrete-filled steel tubular arch bridges. The book is divided into twelve chapters. Based on the author's engineering practice and research, it collects a large number of engineering cases and research findings, summarizes and organizes them, and incorporates the author's long-term insights into arch bridge design, research, and teaching. The book is rich in case studies, illustrated with diagrams, comprehensive in content, and well-organized. It is highly practical and theoretically sound, with some research findings published for the first time. This book can serve as a reference for bridge design and construction professionals, as well as a textbook for senior undergraduate students in civil engineering, graduate students in bridge and tunnel engineering, and structural engineering, and for researchers in composite structures and bridge structures.
