RECENT TRENDS OF COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTIONS IN THE CIVIL ENGINEERING FIELD

Abstract

First, definitions and classifications of composite constructions in the civil engineering field are described. Next, outline of the studies on them, which can be read from the papers mainly published for the last decade, are introduced. A brief review on each paper is done in accordance with the following terms: Shear connectors, elastic theories of composite beams and plates, inelastic behavior and design of composite girder bridges, composite decks, composite piers, mixed systems, and composite walls and shells.
