What determines a building's structural material to be steel or concrete? My guess is that it relies on nearby resources more so than engineering. For example, most all of the highrises in Austin are concrete(abundant here), where as cities like NYC and Chicago (steel mills abundant) seem to go with steel more so. Always been curious
