Comparison Steel Vs Concrete

Steel Concrete
Safe Safe ,fire Protection needed,Expansi Safer than Steel, no extra cladd
on, contractiion and melting due to ing an dprotection requried
change of temprature.

Cost Hige low

Material Availbility Low availbility Easily available
Design Possibilities High in steel Avarage in concrete
Durability 70-80 years 40-50 years

Why Welding is so Important

• we seldom realize that without this form of metal work, many structures would cease to be in existenc
e. A good journeyman welder will be able to join metal in such a way that it is not able to be parted unle
ss it is cut. Welding is an absolutely essential component of industries such as the automotive industry,
the construction industry and even the aviation industry. In fact, even oil rigs out at sea make use of va
rious forms of welding in order to withstand the harsh oceanic weather conditions
