Paperback
(Amer Concrete Inst, Nov. 1, 2003)
These 13 papers from the April 2002 symposium explore composite steel-concrete construction, high-strength high-performance concrete columns and biaxial bending, the role of FRP reinforcement and strut-and-tie models, and the use of precast prestressed concrete in building and highway pavements. The contributors also discuss ideas for improving education in structural concrete design, changes that have taken place in the building codes for composite columns and beams over the years, and the retractable roof on Reliant Stadium in Houston.
