Abstract- There are many possible ways of designing and constructing of high rise and long span building. During the last fifty years or so, new structural solutions and new building materials have been presented in the field of structural engineering. The new solutions can have the purpose of simplifying the construction or saving time and money. The designing team, structural engineers and architects, work to find the best possible solution that will meet the owner’s requirements and the fundamental requirements for the building respectively. A selection of the structural system is a part of this process. To meet these requirements , the following points must be considered :
1-The structural engineer needs a knowledge of the materials that are available on the market and their behavior.
2-The structural engineers also needs a knowledge of the factors that needs to be considered in the beginning of the design process of the building.
3-The structural engineer will have to recognise the advantages and disadvantages of each structural system in question.
