Steel is widely recognized as the predominant construction material in the USA for a variety of structures such as industrial buildings, high-rise towers, bridges, and more. It competes with reinforced concrete on a global scale due to its numerous advantageous qualities, including high strength, stiffness, ductility, toughness, rapid erection, and cost-effectiveness. Similarly, in the Middle East region, steel finds extensive use in industrial plants, offshore structures, and warehouses. Its quick construction speed and suitability for temporary structures give it a competitive edge over concrete.
