Keywords:

RCC structures have been a very popular method of constructing high rise buildings in India, but with the
development of technology and equipment, composite structures are gaining attention. Composite columns like
concrete filled steel tubesor encased steel members offer an excellent performance resulting from the confinement
effect of steel with concrete and exhibits great design versatility. A composite structure definitely has a lot more
advantages over anRCC structure. However, the study of the design and its behavior against different types of loading
is at the center of all studies at the moment as it would suggest as to ow successful composite structures would be. This
paper reviews the various comparison aspects of the composite structure and the traditional RCC structures.
