This paper commences with a historical introduction to the use of composite construction. It reviews the primary features of behaviour under static and fatigue loading for beams and columns. It describes the more common applications of composite construction, analysing the necessary practical requirements for widespread successful application. It concludes that composite construction has been most successfull when sound structural technology is complemented by simple fast construction and is applied in structural forms that offer some additional benefits; these may be as diverse as easy services integration or fire insulation. A similar breadth of consideration will need to be satisfied if composite construction is to succeed fully in marine environments.
