Detailed explanation-1: -the properties of steel do not change appreciably with time; whereas, the properties of concrete in a reinforced concrete structure are considerably modified with time. Hence, steel structures are more durable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Steel is dimensionally more durable than concrete. Unlike concrete, steel will not warp, split, shrink, or crack when exposed to the elements. Additionally, steel structures can are more effective at withstanding earthquakes.
