Composite Truss Bridges with Concrete-filled Rectangular Steel Tube Members provides an overview of concrete filled steel tubular or CFST and the new structures and technologies in bridge engineering based on CFRST trusses. It covers both the mechanical properties of different CFRST structures and the design method and calculation method of CFRST composite truss bridge structures. It reviews the characteristics and advantages of new CFRST structures and the new technologies applied in real-world engineering situations

Structural Theory and Innovative Technologies for Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Bridges examines concrete-filled steel 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
