The book first introduces the workingprinciple and basic design methods of steel-concrete composite bridges,focusing on the design methods for simply supported composite and continuouscomposite bridges as well as analyzing the key problems affecting the bearingperformance of composite bridges and relevant treatment methods. Then, in thelight of development trends of composite bridges, the book explainsanalytically the basic principles and design methods of composite trussbridges, composite rigid-frame bridges, composite girder bridges and corrugatedsteel web bridges. Finally, the book introduces the steel-concrete compositereinforcement technology proposed by the author. In the book, with reference tothe major bridge codes of China, Europe, USA and Japan, the basic designmethods are illustrated for composite bridges and typical engineering cases areintroduced for different composite bridges.

The book can be usedby professionals of bridge design, construction and management and can also beused as reference for research workers and university teachers and students ofrelated subjects.

NieJianguo, born in 1958, professor and doctoral supervisor of Civil EngineeringDepartment of Tsinghua University and MOE Changjiang Scholar Professor,specializing in research on steel-concrete composite structures for nearly 30years and publishing more than 20 papers on international journals such as Journalof Structural Engineering-ASCE and Engineering Structures. He has completed theresearch or design work for a number of composite bridges, including ChongqingGuanyinyan Changjiang River Bridge, Qingdao Bay Bridge, Xiamen YuanboyuanBridge, Shenzhen North Station Bridge, Nanning Interchange Bridge of ZhuxiAvenue and Minzu Avenue and Beijing Zizhuyuan Interchange Bridge. He was thewinner of First and Second China Top 100 Most Influential Academic Theses Awardand honored with such titles as China Excellent Post-doctor.
