Since the 19th century, steel has been widely utilized in the construction of tall buildings. However, in recent times, steel has emerged as a viable option for smaller buildings and even personal residences. One of the notable advantages of steel is its recyclability, allowing for the use of recycled steel in the construction of buildings and civil structures. Steel presents several benefits over concrete, including faster construction methods that are advantageous for businesses. Its enhanced durability and low maintenance requirements make it an appealing building material. Therefore, acquiring knowledge about steel and developing skills in designing steel structures will help individuals prepare for the future of the industry.
