Structural Theory and Innovative Technologies for Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Bridges

Examines concrete-filled steel-filled tubular bridges, including arch bridges, truss bridges, piers, and towers in cable-stayed and suspension bridges.

The book considers, in detail, foundational theoretical issues such as: research on the buckling performance of concrete-filled steel tube walls, the static and fatigue performance of joints, the effects of temperature, interface performance, and the confinement effects.

The book also proposes design methods for concrete-filled steel tubular bridges and provides engineering design and application examples for concrete-filled steel tubular bridges.

It covers various concrete-filled steel tubular bridge types, including arch bridges, truss bridges, piers, and towers in cable-stayed and suspension bridges.

Critical Foundational Theoretical Issues

Including the buckling behavior of steel tubes for the super-size cross section in towers, the static and fatigue performance of the concrete-filled steel tubular joint, steel-concrete interfacial behavior, confinement effect of the members, and temperature action of the composite bridge.

New Design Methods

For arch bridges, truss bridges, piers, and towers are proposed.
