Structural engineers are facing the challenge of striving for the most efficient and economical design solutions while ensuring the final design of a building to be serviceable for its intended function, habitable for its occupants, and safe over its design lifetime. As our country is the fastest-growing country across the globe and needs shelter with higher land costs in major cities where further horizontal expansion is not much possible due to space shortage, we are left with the solution of vertical expansion. Steel-concrete composite construction has gained wide acceptance worldwide as an alternative to pure steel and pure concrete construction. Reinforced concrete members are used in the framing system for most of the buildings since this is the most convenient and economic system for low-rise buildings. However, for medium to high-rise buildings, this type of structure is no longer economical because of increased dead load, less stiffness, span restriction, and hazardous formwork. A steel-concrete composite frame system can provide an effective and economic solution to most of these problems in medium to high rise buildings. An attempt has been made in this study to explore the cost-effectiveness of composite construction. The study concludes that composite structures can be best suited as compared Reinforced Concrete Structures
