Abstract
Tall buildings of mixed or hybrid construction, in which the structure is partly concrete and partly structural steel, have been built for many years in many parts of the world. In general, this type of construction consists of either steel frames with concrete encasement or structures in which shearwalls, tube frames, or other major components are concrete while the remainder of the framing is steel. A new form of mixed construction is represented by a 70-story building in Chicago in which a 40-story concrete structure will be stacked on top of a 30-story steel structure.
