In the United States, steel reigns as the predominant construction material for industrial buildings, high-rise towers, bridges, and various other structures. Its popularity is due to numerous advantageous characteristics, including high strength, stiffness, ductility, toughness, quick erection time, and competitive cost. On a global scale, steel competes with reinforced concrete, albeit its usage in the Middle East region has primarily been limited to industrial plants, offshore structures, and warehouses. The shorter construction duration and its potential as a temporary structure make it a competitive alternative to concrete.
