structures consisting of both materials utilize the benefits of structural steel and reinforced concrete. this is already common practice in reinforced concrete in that the steel reinforcement is used to provide steel's tensile strength capacity to a structural concrete member. a commonly seen example would be parking garages. some parking garages are constructed using structural steel columns and reinforced concrete slabs. the concrete will be poured for the foundational footings, giving the parking garage a surface to be built on. the steel columns will be connected to the slab by bolting and/or welding them to steel studs extruding from the surface of the poured concrete slab. pre-cast concrete beams may be delivered on site to be installed for the second floor, after which a concrete slab may be poured for the pavement area. this can be done for multiple stories. a parking garage of this type is just one possible example of many structures that may use both reinforced concrete and structural steel.
