Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures Using High Strength Materials provides guidance on the design of composite steel-concrete structures using combined high-strength concretes and steels. A solution to overcome such problems is to adopt a steel-concrete composite design in which concrete provides lateral restraint to steel plates against local buckling, and steel plates provide confinement to high-strength concrete. However, high-strength concrete is brittle, and high-strength thin steel plates are prone to local buckling. A material of higher strength means a smaller member size is required to resist the design load. High-strength materials offer alternatives to frequently used materials for high-rise construction.
