Mega composite structural system presents wide application prospects in high-rise and super high-rise buildings. However, research concerning the important issues of the seismic behavior, collapse mechanism, and prevention from progressive collapse for such new structural systems under severe earthquakes is quite limited. This paper will summarize the current research status, followed by the discussions on the collapse and prevention mechanisms of high-rise and super high-rise mega composite structural systems under severe earthquakes, the theoretical basis on progressive collapse mechanisms, numerical simulation techniques, and test methods. The failure modes of high-rise mega composite structures were studied firstly, followed by the collapse mechanisms and the associated criteria and indices. In addition, a new numerical technique for simulating the non-linear structural collapses considering large deformations will be presented, along with the relevant test results. This study shows that analysis method, damage accumulation model, failure criteria, appropriate preventive measures, and improved collapse experimental verification methods are all important seismic design considerations for high-rise and super high-rise mega composite structures. Based on the study results, recommendations for collapse and prevention mechanisms of high-rise buildings are proposed.
