Abstract: The material used for high-rise structure i. e. steel, concrete and other. However the whatever type of material used for high-rise structure the main objective of structural engineer remain in safety, minimum material cost, minimum total weight, minimising different sections used while achieving maximum strength of section. In the present work a comparative study is carried out for Indian standard (IS 800-2007) American standard (AISC 13th edition), British standard (BS 5950, 1: 2000) towards achieving these goals.
