The use of steel-concrete structures

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the analytical review of the historical evolution and the contemporary state of steel-concrete composite constructions, their advantages and disadvantages, a brief review of the specifics of methods for calculating and studies of steel-concrete composite constructions. The main goal of the research is to give a justified assessment of the actual situation of the steel-concrete composite constructions in modern construction. To achieve this goal the analysis of the object of research was used. Based on the results of the conducted research and study of literature and regulatory documents it is possible to draw the main conclusion about the prospects of using steel-concrete composite constructions for Russia due to the high efficiency of structures made of this material. In Russia the regulatory framework in the field of steel-concrete composite constructions is gradually expanding, and it creates the prerequisites for their wider application.
