Book Excerpt : High strength materials offer alternatives to normal strength materials for high-rise construction. A higher material strength means a smaller member size is required to resist the design load. Consequently, high strength materials can be used for columns and in the walls of high-rise buildings. However, high strength concrete is brittle, and high strength thin steel plates are prone to local buckling. A solution to overcome such problems is to adopt a steel-concrete composite design in which concrete provides lateral restraint to steel plates against local buckling, and steel plates provides confinement to high strength concrete, enhancing its strength and ductility. Most design codes (from the USA, China, Europe, and Japan) do not provide guidance on the design of composite steel concrete structures using high strength concrete and high strength steel. Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures Using High Strength Materials addresses this need, providing guidance on the design of composite steel concrete structures using high strength concrete and high strength steel, and complementing existing codes. It gives insight into the design of concrete filled steel tubes (CFSTs) and concrete encased steel (CES) members with a concrete cylinder strength up to 90 N/mm2 and steel of yield strength up to 550 N/mm2. The title includes a database of over 2500 test results on composite columns, allowing design methods to be evaluated. Calculations are presented to determine critical parameters affecting the strength and ductility of high strength composite columns. Finally, the book proposes design methods for axial-moment interaction curves in composite columns. This allows a unified approach to the design of columns with normal and high strength steel concrete materials. Through seven chapters, this book offers solutions in the use of high strength materials to design and construct advanced tall buildings.
