Why was the Empire State Building made of steel?
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.
