Why Was The Empire State Building Made Of Steel? |
|
Answer» STRENGTH–Steel is very strong Flexibility–Ability to flex in the WIND Cost–Inexpensive and fast to BUILD; prefab construction Concrete, a possible alternative, has less compressive strength than steel. The bottom support structure of the EMPIRE state building would consist of a LARGE percentage of solid concrete simply to support the weight of the building.
