Composite construction is very often used in the non-residential multi-story building sector. Due to the strength and stiffness that can be achieved with these materials but with minimum use of them is what makes it top used. This type of construction in a simple way is great because the excellent mix of the both: concrete is good in compression and steel is good in tension. These two materials together results in a highly efficient and lightweight design. 
Composite Structures Benefits
Reduced self weight of these elements has a knock-on effect by reducing the forces in those elements supporting them, including the foundations. Composite systems also offer a lot of benefits in terms of speed of construction. The floor depth reductions that can be achieved using composite construction can also provide significant benefits in terms of the costs of services and the building envelope.
