In India most of the building structures fall under the category of low-rise buildings. So, for these structures reinforced concrete members are used widely because the construction becomes quite convenient and economical in nature. But since the population in cities is growing exponentially and the land is limited, there is a need of vertical growth of buildings in these cities. So, for the fulfilment of this purpose a large number of medium to high rise buildings are coming up these days. For these high-rise buildings, it has been found out that use of composite members in construction is more effective and economic than using reinforced concrete members. The popularity of steel-concrete composite construction in cities can be owed to its advantage over the conventional reinforced concrete construction. Reinforced concretes frames are used in low rise buildings because loading is nominal. But in medium and high-rise buildings, the conventional reinforced concrete construction cannot be adopted as there is increased dead load along with span restrictions, less stiffness and framework which is quite vulnerable to hazards. In construction industry in India use of steel is very less as compared to other developing nations like China, Brazil etc. Seeing the development in India, there is a dire need to explore more in the field of construction and devise new improved techniques to use Steel as a construction material wherever it is economical to use it. Steel concrete composite frames use more steel and prove to be an economic approach to solving the problems faced in medium to high rise building structures.
