Good insight Brendan with the two comparisons between concrete and steel elements. Malik from Barbados

Hi Brendan, it's brookz, a suggestion if I may, could you upload a video discussing the topic of "life time expectancy" of a building and about the methods of structural strengthening and repairing?

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Brookz, thanks for your ongoing suppot. life time expectacy is a broad topic as it will cover many subjects would be a great topic to cover. is there any specific streghening you want to look into?

9:25 I'm sure this is just a quick video so maybe I'm overthinking it, but my understanding is that steel corrosion is separate from "concrete cancer". The steel can corrode due to moisture ingress. Concrete cancer is the second thing you mention, the alkali-silica reaction. Either phenomenon can cause spalling. Good comparison video, always fun to select one material or the other for a given project and weigh up the options.

I keep hearing so many different opinions on material. I've been told steel is more cost effective compared to wood from one company and architects say concrete and steel are expensive. But here I'm hearing it's not expensive?

[@mahmoudtokura]

Valuable information, thanks. What about steel in 2 story buildings like family homes. Is it more advantageous than concrete?
