I think your assumption that steel is usually embedded in concrete is incorrect. It can be, but it's also often not. Have you never seen steel beam construction with exposed beams? It's not at all uncommon...
- mywittyname 9y agoIt's pretty much the standard in steel construction for beams to be exposed. Fire safety is the reason elevator shafts and stair wells of steel buildings are constructed from cinder blocks.
