The choice of structural systems for multi-storied buildings significantly influences performance, costs, duration, and sustainability, with RCC, steel frame, and composite systems being predominant. This research provides a detailed comparative analysis of composite steel-concrete, steel frame, and RCC buildings, assessing aspects such as performance, cost, seismic behavior, and construction efficiency. A systematic review of comparative studies was performed, evaluating numerical models and case studies of buildings from G+7 to G+19, focusing on metrics like load capacity, deflection, seismic response, costs, and construction time. Composite steel-concrete systems exhibited enhanced performance, merging concrete's stiffness with steel's ductility, leading to material cost reductions of about 25% compared to RCC and 18% compared to steel frames, alongside lower deflections and dead loads, and superior seismic performance. Composite steel-concrete framing is an effective solution for medium to high-rise buildings, balancing performance, cost, and speed, though site-specific factors must be considered in system selection.
