Abstract

The issue of carbon emissions from building materials is an important issue in today's society and concrete buildings are one of the main contributors to carbon emissions. As a result, steel construction is very popular in modern society. However, with improvements in concrete technology, it is gradually starting to gain acceptance again. The focus of this review article is to discuss the dominant role of steel and concrete in construction. This paper adopts the method of literature analysis and reading. At the same time, the data of this study come from SteelConstruction.info (The free encyclopedia for UK steel construction information), British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA) and Steel Construction Institute (SCI) and The British Standard Institute. The following conclusions can be drawn: Steel structures are getting more and more attention. Steel structure and cement play an important role in construction.
