In today's modern era of innovation, two materials widely and inevitably used as construction material are steel and concrete for structures ranging from buildings to bridges. Though these materials may have different properties and characteristics, they both seem to complement each other in many ways. Steel has excellent resistance to tensile loading but lesser weight ratio so thin sections are used which may be prone to buckling phenomenon. On the other hand concrete is good in resistance to compressive force. Steel may be used to induce ductility an important criteria for tall building, while corrosion protection and thermal insulation can be done by concrete. Similarly buckling of steel can also be restrained by concrete. In order, to derive the optimum benefits from both materials composite construction is widely preferred
