Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete IV (2000)

Proceedings of the Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete IV Conference, held in Banff, Alberta, Canada, May 28-June 2, 2000. Sponsored by the United Engineering Foundation, Inc.; Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE.

This collection contains 85 papers that provide a comprehensive overview of the state of research and practice in composite construction at the turn of the 21st century. Topics include innovative composite structural systems, composite bridges, composite beams and columns, composite slabs, shear connectors, fire in composite structures, seismic engineering of composite structures, and case studies in composite construction. Experimental, computational, and analytical research are all covered, and a number of papers focus on practical composite design, including several summaries of the state of practice in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
