This book sets out the basic principles of composite construction with reference to beams, slabs, columns and frames, and their applications to building structures. It deals with the problems likely to arise in the design of composite members in buildings, and relates basic theory to the design approach of Eurocodes 2, 3 and 4 and BS 5950. The new edition is the first since 1975, and it has been substantially revised to take account of the new codes.
