ABSTRACT

Steel–Concrete Composite (SCC) structural systems are increasingly used in the construction
industry and becoming the subject of intensive research by the world’s leading universities and
companies because of their efficient material usage. This reports summarizes some historic and
recent developments as well as the new trends for SCC systems. It presents the design philosophy
and specific definitions for basic structural elements, including composite beams and slabs with
emphasis on the applications, static tests, modelling techniques, design approaches as well as
current design limitations. In general, composite design provides the efficient use of material, ease
of construction, time saving, and more space when compared with non-composite design. This
report concludes with a call for more research for the improvement of Eurocode-4 and IS:11384
which in turn can help the fast-growing construction industry to take full advantage of the benefits
of composite construction techniques implemented with safety.
