Steel strengthens structures through its high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, tensile and compressive strength, and adaptability. Its numerous advantages, including versatility, speed of construction, environmental benefits, and fire resistance, make it an indispensable material in modern construction.
The economic impacts of the steel industry are multifaceted and far-reaching. As an engine of employment, a driver of innovation, a significant player in global trade, and a key sector for sustainable development, it plays a crucial role in the global economy.
