Steel design and requirements can be found in ASTM Specification A27/A27M-8
Generally, because concrete has massive compression strength and steel has incredible tensile strength. Combined, they make amazingly strong structures.
grain structures
Engineers enhance the strength of structures by using materials with high tensile and compressive strength, such as reinforced concrete and steel. They also employ design techniques like triangulation in trusses, which distributes loads evenly and increases stability. Additionally, they incorporate safety factors and redundancies in their designs to ensure that structures can withstand unexpected loads or stresses.
Corrugated steel bars are reinforcing bars (rebar) that have a series of ridges or grooves along their surface, which enhances their bonding strength with concrete. These bars are commonly used in construction to improve the tensile strength of concrete structures, preventing cracking and providing stability. The corrugated design allows for better adhesion between the steel and concrete, making it ideal for various structural applications.

Structures can be classified based on their function (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial), material composition (e.g., concrete, steel, wood), and design style (e.g., modern, traditional, contemporary).
Concrete structures are more costly than steel structures. Both types of material are the dominant materials that are used in building homes and offices.
