It has been pointed out for a long time that conventional high strength steel is not fully capable of securing plastic deformation performance because of its high "yield ratio (i.e. a ratio of its yield point to its tensile strength)." It has been a issue in the architectural industry for many years to create a high quality structural steels having a low yield ratio of which yield point do not vary widely. Recently it is becoming possible to manufacture such high-quality, high-strength steel. The authors had a chance to use this steel as a part of composite steel and concrete columns for a high-rise building; the authors introduce in this paper the structural design of that building.
