Abstract: The present invention relates to a laced composite system with high rotational capacity and ductility which resists the suddenly applied dynamic loads by undergoing excessive plastic deformation, while still maintaining the integrity of the system. The laced composite system comprising, a sandwiched filler material between upper and lower cover plates (1); the said cover plates being provided with the plurality of perforations (2) along the length, plurality of reinforcing members (3) being passed through the said perforations to connect the said cover plates leaving bent edges of the reinforcing members projecting outside the cover plates, plurality of transverse/cross rods (4) being attached at the outer side of the said cover plates through the space available in between the cover plates and bends of the reinforcing members projecting outside the cover plates to hold the said reinforcing members in order to enhance the ductility and rotational capacity of the said laced composite system.
