A structural member composed of two or more dissimilar materials joined together to act as a unit is referred as composite structure.These essentially different materials are completely compatible and complementary to each other; they have almost the same thermal expansion. The two complementary materials, structural steel and reinforced concrete are introduced and it is shown how composite action is achieved in the case of composite. Attention is drawn to the effect of this form of composite construction on other more general problems such as fire resistance rating, speed of construction, flexibility and final fitting out. The most important and most frequently encountered combination of construction materials is that of steel and concrete, with applications in multi-storied commercial building and factories, as well as in bridges. Composite structure have an ideal combination of strengths with the concrete efficient in compression and the steel in tension. The use of profiled deck composite slab in the construction industry has many advantages including the simplicity in construction compared to other flooring system. The profiled sheeting serve's as shuttering by shouldering wet concrete during construction stage. This composite construction method gained popularity for eliminating time-consuming erection and subsequent removal of temporary forms. Cost effective highly flow able green engineering cementitious composite made of locally accessible materials could yield better composite activity between the profiled steel sheeting and the concrete.In composite slab by addition of polypropylene fibre and fly ash gives more flexural strength than reinforced concrete slab.Shear connector join the I-section beam and reinforced concrete slab and stud connector takes more load carrying capacity than channel connector
