The amount of steel used in a high-rise building can vary significantly depending on its design and height, but a general estimate is that a high-rise can contain anywhere from 10 to 20 tons of steel per floor. For a 30-story building, this could mean a total of 300 to 600 tons of steel or more. Factors such as the building's structural requirements, the materials used, and local building codes will also influence the total steel quantity.
