Abstract
An overview of the use of composite structural systems for seismic design in the United States. Provides a brief summary of the types of buildings constructed from different composite systems including normal composite slabs, concrete filled tubes, encased steel sections, and connections between concrete walls and steel framing. The present understanding of the behavior of these systems is described. It will be shown that the construction practice has frequently gone beyond the research and theoretical understanding of the behavior of these complex elements. Present ongoing research efforts are, therefore, briefly noted.
