Since steel was introduced over 100 years ago, it has made significant strides to the forefront of the construction arena. This paper reviews the implications of recent developments in its use; it looks at progress made in the formation of steel sections, structural systems and the use of steel in onshore and offshore applications. Developments in fire engineering, protection systems and environmental strategies are also discussed. The paper demonstrates the commitment of the steel construction sector to a path of continued improvement in a market where advances in process and product technology will become increasingly led by the clients’ need for higher performance materials and systems. By looking at the past achievement and the present trends and developments, the paper provides a glimpse of steel structures for the next millenium.
