Composite Truss Bridges with Concrete-filled Rectangular Steel Tube Members provides an overview of concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) and new structures and technologies in bridge engineering based on CFRST trusses. The book covers both the mechanical properties of different CFRST structures and design and calculation methods of CFRST composite truss bridge structures. In addition, it reviews the characteristics and advantages of new CFRST structures and the new technologies applied in real-world engineering situations.
