Hi,

The thermal coefficient of expansion of steel bars is similar to that of concrete. Also they provide high tensile strength when processed by using HYSD or TMT process. Also steel industry has brought down their carbon footprints by recycling and i will add that the giants like TATA are taking a step in the right direction - refer this - https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/tata-steel-develops-tech-to-cut-carbon-emissions-by-20/articleshow/61039440.cms

If you are even more curious to know why, follow this quora link - https://www.quora.com/What-type-of-steel-should-be-used-for-construction-and-why-is-it-only-steel-not-other-metals-or-materials
