The book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students, university teachers and practising engineers seeking familiarity with composite structures and the new Eurocodes
structures of steel and concrete. Readers are assumed to be familiar
with the elastic and plastic theories for the analysis for bending and shear
of cross-sections of beams and columns of a single material, such as
structural steel, and to have some knowledge of reinforced concrete. No
previous knowledge is assumed of the concept of shear connection within
a member composed of concrete and structural steel, nor of the use of
profiled steel sheeting in composite slabs
