This study consists of a broad analysis of composite structures, with particular<br />

emphasis on buildings, and the principal elements that make up this system, i.e.,<br />

continuous and simply supported composite beams, composite slabs and composite<br />

columns. Several aspects of construction are broached, as well as structural behavior<br />

and the procedures for design recommended by the main codes, mainly the American<br />

AISC and the EUROCO<strong>DE</strong> 4 codes. Fire design is also analyzed, considering the<br />

behavior and design of composite elements under fire conditions. The study<br />

concludes with some examples of design, comparing and discussing the results<br />

achieved by the principal codes.<br />

Keywords: composite structures, composite beams, composite slabs, composite<br />

columns, fire.<br />
