4th edition The Composite Structures analyze works whose load-bearing elements consist of the two most common structural materials, steel and reinforced concrete. By collaborating these two materials, the criteria for load capacity, functionality, ductility, and durability over time are optimally satisfied.
The significant advantages of composite structures have led to their widespread use worldwide, particularly in areas of high seismic risk. The book presents topics on the design of composite beams, slab columns, and their connections with reference to buildings, examining the limit states of failure and functionality based on the provisions of Eurocode 4 adapted to the Greek Concrete Code, providing criteria and application rules for practical fire protection issues.
Each chapter includes both theoretical foundations and a large number of application examples, which contribute to a better understanding of the material. In its fourth edition, the book has been revised with some necessary corrections and additions.
Giannis Vagias is a Professor at the School of Civil Engineering of NTUA. He has long been involved with teaching, research, study, and regulations of steel and composite structures.
