Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon containing less than 2% carbon and 1% manganese and small amounts

of silicon, phosphorus, sulphur and oxygen. Steel is the world's most important engineering and construction
material.

With steel, we can create structures like no other material when it

comes to construction. No other material can match the potency and
durability that steel provides. Structural steel is becoming the most
preferred choice for construction due to the various benefits it offers.
The buildings that are made from steel require various structural
frames. Also, constructing with steel requires less time which makes it
the most sought after way of constructing structures.
Steel constructions have high resistance due to their strength, and they
do not cost as much as other materials do, such as concrete for
construction purposes. Also, there are various benefits of using steel
over other construction materials. Steel building constructions are
environment-friendly, and can withstand natural calamities like
earthquakes.
Following are the common types of steel used in construction:

Structural steel
Structural steel shapes are developed from steel that is formed out
of a precise cross-section. At the same time, it also follows definite
standards for chemical composition and mechanical properties.
Structural steel can be made available in various shapes like Z shape,
I-Beam, L shape, HSS shape, T shape, Bar, Plate, Rod, Rail profile,
structural channel, open joist of web steel, etc. Standard structural steel
differs in different countries with different specifications.
Structural steel is durable, ductile, strong, and it can be transformed
into any shape depending on the type of construction. It can be
constructed in no time on the construction site. Structural steel is fire
resistant.

Rebar steel
Rebar steel is also known as reinforcing steel. This type of steel is
commonly used as a tension device for reinforced concrete structures.
Rebar steel is made from carbon steel and it is commonly used as a

tensioning device to reinforce concrete and other masonry structures to

help hold the concrete in a compressed state. This type of steel is
available in various types of grades that are found in varying
specifications in vital tensile strength, yield strength, elongation
percentage and chemical composition.
Reinforcing steel provides durability, resistance, and stiffness that
spreads through a wide area that the other types of steel are not
usually equipped in.

Mild steel
Mild steel is also known as plain carbon steel. It is another type of steel
used in steel building constructions. It is very strong and durable and
does ensure sturdy establishment. Carbon steel provides high strength
which makes it more suitable for buildings. Mild steel just like structural
steel is very flexible. Hence, it does not crack when bent. It is very
much like structural steel. It also can endure calamities like
earthquakes.
Steel building constructions are gaining popularity across the globe.
Almost, all the fields have benefitted with the various advantages of
steel. With the growing use of steel in construction, it will soon take
over the entire construction field.

10, Steel frame construction is rigid in structure and dimensionally stable
11, Steel can be re-used without effecting the environment
12, Construction with Steel components is very fast compared to other materials
13, Steel construction of buildings with steel components is resistant to termites and
other destructive insects.
14, Steel constructions are cheaper than any other construction methods
15, Steel construction is a fast method of construction

Steel construction of buildings is very fast and less expensive when compared to buildings

of other materials. Its very rare to hear about steel construction but its very
common. Steel construction of materials has become a need for the promotion. It has
become useful for the business and commercial sectors for a long period of time.
Nowadays Steel constructions are placed in the top list because it safeguards the
buildings against damages in case of climatic effects like earthquakes and more. The steel
constructions will act in an expected or dependable way to survive when earthquake
occurs.
Steel components are light and will not expand or contract with climatic changes.
Progress of steel construction has become more tradition for residential as well as
commercial buildings. Steel is not only used for specific building projects but also used to
build churches, bridges, recreational and edifice. This is because it is strong and durable
as well as less expensive and resistant to fire.
It can be easily designed or revamped and even effortless to transport. Here is an
advantage for steel is that it never breaks, shrink or twist. Pipelines constructed by Steel
helps in passing a large amount of petroleum, water, gases from one location to another.
Warehouse constructed with steel afford large space to store goods. Compared to other
warehousing, steel warehouse can safeguard the goods in unfavorable conditions of
weathers.
