Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete II (1992)

Proceedings of Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete II conference, held in Potosi, Missouri, June 14-19, 1992. Sponsored by the Engineering Foundation.

This collection contains 68 papers on four aspects of composite steel-concrete structures: codes, design, case studies, and research. Composite steel-concrete structures are widely used throughout the world. Applications range from buildings to bridges to foundations to special structures. In many instances, extensive research programs are associated with the development of new projects and design methods. Given this expanding use of composite steel-concrete structures, there is an increasing need for the collaboration and exchange of information between engineers worldwide.

Topics include:

• composite floors and roofs;
• serviceability and ductility;
• fire and corrosion protection;
• behavior and design of shear connectors;
• seismic behavior of composite frames;
• panel-type structures;
• design considerations for composite columns;
• case studies for buildings and bridges;
• connection research; and
• research needs.
