Funded Activity Summary

Unified theory for the behaviour and design of composite steel-concrete beams subjected to generalised loading and support conditions. Steel framed construction for bridges, buildings and stadia is considered to provide a more elegant form of construction which often results in a minimum weight solution and can be linked with reconstructability and sustainability. This project, which provides for an improved understanding of steel framed construction, will result in the community being provided with more efficient structural forms. From a technical perspective a greater understanding of steel framed construction will provide the structural engineering community with greater choice in their design process. This will often allow for the most effective solution in terms of aesthetics, constructability, cost and sustainability.
