The paper focuses on the seismic performances of steel-concrete composite structures made with fully encased steel-concrete composite columns and steel beams. An important objective is to study the influence of the structural steel ratio on the behaviour of composite columns. To meet the proposed objectives, a numerical study was developed on composite structures. Some comments, design recommendations and an economical study conclude the paper.
