The primary object of the paper is to identify the compression forces and inelastic failure behavior using steel plate-concrete structures. The compression tests were carried out for the three types of B/tratios by 25, 33 and 50. The tests proved that the compressive strength of the SC structures can be estimated by the summation of strengths both of the steel plate and concrete. The buckling of the steel plates had been occurring at the plates between studs. The empirical estimation of compressive strength for unstiffened SC structures under compressive loadings was suggested. The buckling behavior was also compared with the results of the finite element analysis.
