  • Abstract:
  • In recent years, the construction of high-rise buildings has become increasingly important due to urbanization and population growth in cities. Conventional reinforced concrete (RCC) structures have long been used; however, the need for faster construction, higher strength, and better seismic resilience drives the adoption of steel-concrete composite structural systems. These systems combine the compressive strength and stiffness of concrete with the tensile strength and ductility of steel, offering superior overall structural performance. Steel-concrete composite construction offers advantages like rapid construction speed, reduced structural weight, enhanced load-carrying capacity, and improved seismic resistance. Under earthquake loading, the synergy between steel and concrete helps in dissipating energy effectively, limiting lateral displacements, and enhancing ductility. This makes composite high-rise structures well-suited for seismic zones, offering better safety and serviceability. Research and practical applications in countries including China and India show that composite high-rise structures can be cost-effective and efficient solutions, incorporating advanced materials and modern design methods aligned with seismic design codes such as IS 1893 and relevant international standards.
