Composite Steel Structures Advances, design and construction

Edited By R. Narayanan Copyright 1987

    This volume contains 17 papers on composite steel structures, presented at the International Conference organised by the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, University College, Cardiff, UK. It covers the design of bridges, flooring design practices, connection design and cyclic tests.
