It also explains the analysis methods for testing HPCB systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors describe a new HPCB system that has been developed to reduce the input of raw materials and embodied CO2 commonly associated with heavily loaded and long-spanned industrial buildings (which predominately comprise reinforced concrete) and improve the sustainability of the construction process. They provide several resources throughout to facilitate adoption by professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign equations derived from Eurocode 4 approach for ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state and worked examples are included throughout. The authors discuss the feasibility for both materials and the full-scale beams and CO2 reduction methods, including use of recycled concrete aggregate, ground granulated blast-furnace and silica fume to replace natural coarse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eaggregates and Ordinary Portland Cement. Guidance for testing HPCBs--including setup, test procedure and data collection and interpretation--is also given. The authors also elaborate on recommendations for finite element analysis for HPCBs. Design examples are appended to illustrate typical current practice using a 12 × 12 m grid floor with live load of 15 kPa. Various considerations for different parameters such as fire resistance are discussed. Finally, the authors present a case study of a recently completed industrial building in Singapore to quantify the benefits of using HPCBs over reinforced concrete and conventional composite construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructural engineering professionals, whose work relates to long-span and heavy-loading industrial or commercial buildings, will benefit from the detailed guidance and focus on practical applications provided throughout this book. Post-graduate students of advanced steel and composite structures will also benefit from these descriptions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45243296252055,"sku":"9781032626918","price":4731.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032626918.webp?v=1769234260","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/design-of-high-performance-pre-engineered-steel-concrete-composite-beams-for-sustainable-construction-9781032626918","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
