A steel reinforced concrete column for a high rise building in accordance with the invention comprises a plurality of hot-rolled steel sections extending longitudinally through the concrete column, wherein each of these steel sections has an outward flange with an outer surface turned outwards in the concrete column, an opposite inward flange with an outer surface turned inwards in the concrete column, and a central web connecting the outward flange to the inward flange. Preferred hot rolled steel sections are, for example, H-shaped steel sections with wide flanges, such as European HEA, HEB or HEM beams according to prEN16828-2015, EN 10025-2:2004, 10025-4:2004, or American wide flange or W- beams according to ASTM A6/A6M-14, or other hot-rolled steel section having two flanges and a central web similar to or in line with the aforementioned beams. The steel reinforced concrete column has a longitudinal axis along which the steel sections extend, preferably so that the longitudinal axis of each steel section is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the steel reinforced concrete column.
