Introduction to Steel-Concrete Composite Building Code: IS 11384-1985: Code of

Practice for Composite Construction in Structural Steel and Concrete Concept of

Tall Building Design From a structural engineer's point of view tall building or
multi-storeyed building is one that, by virtue of its height, is affected by lateral
forces to an extent that they play an important role in the structural design Multistoreyed buildings provide a large floor area in a relatively small area of land in
urban centres. Advantages of Steel Tall Buildings Faster to erect Lighter
Better quality control Reduced site time - Fast track Construction Large
column free space and amenable for alteration Less material handling at site
Less percentage of floor area occupied by structural elements Has better
ductility and hence superior lateral load behavior; better earthquake resistance

Beam and Column Construction Common types of floor systems Concrete slabs
supported by open-web joists One-way and two-way reinforced concrete slabs
supported on steel beams Concrete slab and steel beam composite floors
Composite profiled decking floors Precast concrete floors on steel beams
