This paper presents different criteria, requirements, and possibilities of steel and composite structures in rehabilitation and intervention of existing buildings. Firstly, the characteristics of the materials and techniques of the original building are studied, which are necessary for undertaking the structural analysis. Secondly, the specific conditions of each building are considered in accordance with the criteria and current standards. Thirdly, the possibilities of metal and composite structures in the rehabilitation and intervention of existing buildings are described, with recent projects developed by the authors highlighting their potential and versatility throughout the entire process.
