This book provides an introduction to the behavior and design of composite steel-concrete buildings. It covers the latest design methodologies recommended in Eurocodes and Australian standards for composite construction. Design concepts are introduced and derived from fundamental mechanics to outline a clear overview of available guidelines. The basic concepts describing the response of composite slabs, beams, and columns are tied to current developments in industry and academia. Advanced topics are presented where they relate to real structural applications.

Combining a user-friendly, practical approach along with detailed derivations and mathematical background, this textbook is heavily supported by downloadable MATLAB® files and contains a wealth of resources for lecturers. Many worked examples walk students through the methods and give them insight into creating analytical models. The book also challenges students to consider specific aspects of the material in more detail as well as extend the methods provided to other problems.
