Abstract
This chapter traces how a combination of theory and practice led to the development of the steel industry. It then shows how the availability of steel led to new building techniques that required the use of engineering science. The chapter focuses on the design and building of the Eads Bridge in St. Louis, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City and the skyscrapers in Chicago.
