All depends on what you are looking for and how much you have to spend. Concrete pools are usually considered the "high-end" pool but installation takes a long time and maintenance and repair are costly. Steel pools, or I'm assuming you're referring the vinyl liner pools, are a good, cost efficient option. Though, if you want to extend the life span of your pool, check out the other building materials used for vinyl liner pools.. such as Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials.

I am a big fan of Fiberglass pools. I have had vinyl liner pools and concrete pools. Fiberglass pools are easy to clean, they manitain chemical balance better, and the surface does not need to be refinished as often as concrete pools. The only downside is that the surface of fiberglass pools can be a bit more slippery than concrete but that has not caused any problems for us.
1. Steel walls will allow for expansion and contraction in temperature changes. 2. Concrete walls are more likely to have rough edges that may, in time, wear holes or cause tears in the liner. Umm...concrete wall pools don't usually have liners. You either plaster the pool then paint over the plaster, or tile the inside. A steel wall pool (although you should get a polymer wall pool instead--steel will rust in a below-ground application even though it's galvanized; polymer can't rust) is less expensive than a concrete pool Steel-wall and polymer-wall pools are less expensive to install. A concrete pool is made from Gunite--a sprayed-on concrete. Liner pools come as panels on pallets, and you bolt the panels together.
A concrete pool keeps looking better for longer and will outlast a fibreglass pool. Fibreglass pool maufacturers offer guarantees of between 10-20 years. This gives some idea of the longevitiy of fibreglass pools. Fibreglass pools have the following advantages: 1. Easier to install than concrete pools 2. More inert to chemicals and thus require less maintenance and cost than concrete pools 3. Easier to clean than tiles pools
Steel walls are currently the lowest quality wall for a swimming pool, with the exception of Cyprus wood (if still available). Concrete (not gunite) is superior to any other wall, but a pool with concrete walls generally also has a concrete bottom. In other words, it is a concrete swimming pool. The most popular wall today for vinyl liner pools is fiberglass and, with the possible exception of concrete, is the best possible choice.
The quantity of steel bars, better known as rebar, in a 1 m cubic amount of concrete is dependent upon the use of the concrete. The more steel bars in the concrete the higher the weight rating of the concrete will be.
Steel reinforced concrete is concrete with rods of steel running through it.
Galvanized Steel Swimming Pools are superior to polymer swimming pools because they are stronger, have more options regarding costummizations, they have a longer life spam, etc. The only, let's say negative thing about galvanized steel swimming pools is that they are harder to install.
Fiberglass pools are more durable than concrete pools. Concrete pools tend to require monthly cleaning to prevent algae from growing on the walls. Fiberglass pools tend to need maintenance roughly every 10 years.
Concrete is good in compression, poor in tension. Steel is good in tension, poor in tension. By the addition of reinforcing steel into concrete, you take the strengths of one material and marry it to the weakness of the other. This provides a better product capable of better performance in the field.
reinforced concrete. Steel can handle tension well Concrete can handle compression well Concrete + Steel (reinforced concrete) can handle compression and tension well.
Black algae is very tough, it sends roots into the concrete of concrete pools. before bombing it with strong algaecide destroy as much of it as you can with an steel or copper brush and vacuum the remains to waste the next day when the water has settled down. You are better of not letting the stuff into your filter as it may may reappear if it not entirely dead.
The steel rods are there to strengthen the concrete - making it reinforced concrete.
how calculate steel in concrete
Concrete is much more fire resistant. This is shown by the design of reinforced concrete structure where the steel is placed within the concrete. A major reason is that the concrete protects the steel from any fire. Steel only construction requires the steel to be covered in a fire protection material.

Concrete is unpredictable compared to steel...
Steel & concrete obsorb tensile & compression respectively. as well as steel acts as a good reinforcement to protect concrete. - Velsamy vM
Steel is heavier than concrete for the same volume, however steel buildings are generally lighter. This is because steel buildings utilize high strength of steel, so volume of steel in steel buildings is much smaller than volume of concrete in concrete buildings. In another words in steel buildings much less volume of material is needed for the same strength compared to concrete buildings.
Wood wall pools will often deteriorate faster than traditional galganized steel wall vinyl pools. Vinyl pools are the most economical where as concrete pools tend to be more luxurious. If you want to see a side by side comparison of all different types of swimming pools you can choose from at www.BuyPool.ca which is an article comparing the purchasing quality of: -Vinyl liner abover ground pools -Vinyl liner in ground pools -Concrete or gunite in ground pools -Fibreglass pools
steel is steel and there is nothing you can do about it even if it is stainless steel or it i not stainless steel it will rust
because concrete is good at compression and steel is good at tension
Concrete reinforcing steel is commonly used in bridges, buildings, skyscrapers and road construction. Reinforcing concrete with steel significantly increases its strength in an economical and safe manner.
because concrete is unpredictable than steel
Concrete has high compressive strength but its tensile strength is minimum.So to give tensile strength to concrete steel is used.
