Difference Between Steel Structure And Steel
What are the differences between Concrete structure and Steel structure? And for what purposes is it better to use concrete or steel structures? Concrete is the second most used material for construction after water in the world. Concrete is widely used in today construction industry because of its durability and compatibility. It can be mounded in any shape which makes it a very useful. In addition to the unique aesthetics achieved with concrete construction. Steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any construction material. steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a profile of a specific cross-section. Structural steel shapes, sizes,

Each structure has its own performance that qualifies it for specific tasks, for example, concrete structures have advantage x, so this construction is mainly dependent on using concrete structure because of x feature. Happho (2016) pointed out that concrete and steel structures both have advantages in overall performance that make them two of the most important structures uses in civil engineering in many types of constructions. This is valid point since these advantages allow the constructions processes much easier to be handled for instance as for concrete structures no excessive maintenance is required in comparison to steel structures and it can tolerate high temperatures from fire for a long period of time without losing structural safety while for steel structures, less time to build than concrete structure, ease to expand the structure, wide range of joining methods like bolting and welding , they are more flexible than concrete that let them to have high dynamic forces resistance like wind or earthquake forces and they can take up both compression and tension forces . On the other side in real life there is nothing is perfect so there are disadvantages in performance for both structures. According to Happho (2016) and Madsen (2005), the two structures have some disadvantages that might delay the process of the constructions. The author has a point because these …show more content…
It is obvious that concrete and steel structures are like water, we cannot leave without them. We need them in our daily lives in constructions like hospitals, schools, houses, restaurants, stadiums, military, business towers and everywhere around us. So, experts in civil engineers may try to develop these structures, try to enhance CS and SS abilities for better and to overcome their
