Publisher's Synopsis
High strength steel (HSS) is being used increasingly in the civil construction industry, and recent research on HSS structural members and connections has developed detailed knowledge of its performance. This provides comprehensive treatment of the behaviour of structural components and assemblies made of high-strength steel under various forms of loading, ranging from quasi-static to cyclic and high-strain rate loading, fatigue, and fire. It focuses on its behaviour as a material within a structure, and goes on to explore various types of HSS-concrete composite sections and hybrid fabricated sections and then bolted, welded and modular connections.
