adding to what my friends mentioned. One of the important concept for using steel is its yielding behavior. other materials can be used like GFRP but it has a linear behavior.
The Co efficient of linear expansion of concrete and steel is same. The Co efficinet of linear expansion is the change in lenght per unit lenght at per degree centigrate raise the temperature.
