Abstract: The main purpose of this study is comparison and investigation of different types of composite columns in framed structures in plastic mode under dynamic loads. In this study the performance of the MRFs with composite columns has been evaluated using 3-story structural models, considering the base reactions obtained from the non-linear analysis. The results show good performance of composite sections under the seismic loads. Also, a comparison between two types of composite sections, the full and half-embedded steel sections in concrete, has been made. The columns are designed for the construction frames with 3 floors s by Plastics Method and to study the dynamic behavior of the models were used three strong earthquakes.
