Seismic design of steel-concrete composite structures

In this study, seismic design rules of the steel-concrete composite structural members, was explained. This M.Sc. Thesis consists of five chapters. First chapter includes introduction to the study, types and history of composite members, existing standards, were informed.In the second chapter, members of composite floor system, structural rules, design of profiled steel sheeting served as shuttering in the process of construction and composite, were explained. In the third chapter, the types of composite beams, propped of composite beams, design of continuous and simply supported composite beams, were explained.In the forth chapter, the types of composite columns, plastic behavior and design standards were explained, composite and steel columns are given information about the comparison of buckling behavior.In the fifth chapter, reinforced concrete structure and composite column cross section structure are seismic analyzed and the structures displacements are compared. Conclusions of the thesis work were summarized in sixth chapter.
