Concrete Composite Columns (eBook)

Concrete Composite Columns: Behavior and Design focuses on confined concrete and establishes analytical methods for each composite column. The volume moves beyond existing resources to study the relationship between existing composite structures and design methods for the sectional form of a concrete composite structure. Chapters cover the failure criteria of concrete, confined concrete types, models, including axial stress prediction, analysis and design-oriented constitutive models, the design and analysis of section form, axial and seismic behaviors of concrete composite columns, the seismic design of concrete composite columns, and the engineering application. This book offers a practical solution to students, researchers, and engineers working with both steel and FRP-confined concrete composite columns. - Focuses on confined concrete and provides analytical methods for composite columns - Discusses different types of composite columns, including FRP and steel-concrete composites - Considers the construction method and confining forces in composite concrete columns - Details confined concrete from basic theoretical analysis to seismic behaviors and design methods - Provides a solution to students, researchers, and engineers working with confined composite columns

Chong Rong is Associate Professor and master students' supervisor in the Department of Civil Engineering, at Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology, China. Chong Rong was awarded his PhD at Xi'an University of architecture and technology in 2019. He participated in the cooperative training project at the University of Wollongong in 2017. In 2020, he won the title of excellent doctoral dissertation in Shaanxi Province in China. He presided over or participated in a number of National Natural Science Funds in China. His research fields focused on that: (a) the composite structure, including mechanical properties and confining mechanism of the confined concrete, axial mechanical behaviour study and section design method for the concrete composite column; (b) the seismic toughness, including seismic performance of the concrete composite members and the corresponding structure, damping technology and structural design method for earthquake absorption of the composite structure; (c) the engineering detection and reinforcement, including damage identification technology and health monitoring technology for the existing structure, transformation design technology for the old building, and reinforcement technology for the unsafe or weak structures.
