This book is aimed at developing the elementary analysis skills,
familiarity and intuitive feel for composite construction that is
required by undergraduate and graduate students, and by structural
engineers. It does not require a prior knowledge of advanced
analysis and design techniques, but builds on simple concepts such
as statics and the mechanics of materials. A topic is first
introduced by a brief description, with numerous carefully-chosen
examples forming an integral part of the main text. Working through
the examples allows the reader to gain a full understanding of the
subject, as a technique is illustrated by its application to the
design of new structures, or the important area of assessing and
upgrading existing structures.

The techniques described for the analysis of standard structures
form a basis for understanding the way composite structures work,
and these techniques are applied to many non-standard forms of
composite construction that are rarely covered in national
standards, if at all. The book is an essential purchase for all
undergraduate and postgraduate students of structural and civil
engineering, as well as all practitioners.
