Strengths: it is cheap, fireproof and weatherproof, it can molds to any shape and it is strong in compression. Weakness: it is weak in tension.

Iron is a really strong material that is use to construct buildings and structures like bridges
 * Iron **

Strengths: it can molds to any shape and it is strong in compression. Weakness: it is weaker than steel in tension; breaks without warning.

Steel is a very resistant construction material. It's composed of Iron and a touch of carbon. The best property of this material is that it is strong in comprension and tension. As a weakness, the steel loses strength in extremely high temperatures.
