Worldwide different types of RC and steel structures with various floor systems are being used for multi-storey buildings. In the past, masonry structures were widely used for building construction. Day by day technology has developed. Later, steel structural systems were started for multi-storey buildings. With the introduction of reinforced concrete, RC structural systems started for multi-storey building construction. RC floor system supported on steel beam was historically designed as non-composite. With the advent of welding, it became practical to provide mechanical shear connectors to consider composite action. Due to failure of many multi-storied and low-rise RC and masonry buildings due to earthquake, structural engineers are looking for the alternative methods of construction. Use of composite or hybrid material is of particular interest. Bare steel structure is sensitive to fire. Now a day, different fire proofing system has developed significantly. In India, mostly masonry and RC structures were being used. During last decade, steel structural systems are being popular. So, alternative structural systems are gradually developing to compete with RC structural systems. Now a day, use of masonry structure is very limited. RC structure is dominating and steel structure is entering gradually for multi-storey building structures in India. So, comparative study is required to identify most effective structural system for a particular building.
