This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC), Structural Steel, and Steel-Concrete Composite framed structures across three height categories: low-rise (G+5), medium-rise (G+15), and high-rise (G+30). The evaluation focuses on construction cost (material and time) and dynamic seismic performance (Base Shear, Time Period, and Storey Drift) using Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA). The results demonstrate that while RCC is the most cost-effective for low-rise structures, the Composite frame system offers the optimal balance of economic viability and superior dynamic performance for medium and high-rise construction. Specifically, composite construction reduces overall project cost by leveraging faster construction and reduced seismic mass, leading to significant savings in foundation and construction time compared to pure RCC and steel frames, respectively.
