Concrete is the most economical building material that can withstand high compressive strength, but cannot exhibit sufficient tensile forces. On the other hand, steel is considered a good building material in the context of tensile strength. It can withstand tensile strength much more than concrete. A properly designed concrete building structure hold increased strength and ductility even in areas prone to seismic conditions. The performance of buildings during an earthquake depends mainly on design instead of the material used in the process of construction. In conducting comparison between concrete and steel buildings, on can find benefits in both types ...

According to Denhardt and Denhardt (2012), the main role of public servants is to assist citizen’s articulate as well as meet shared interests rather than attempting to steer of control society.

One key thing to do is to obtain an assurance from the seller of the merchantability of the airplane. In other words the seller should be asked to guarantee that the airplane is fit for the purpose for which it is bought. This would amount to an express warranty by either affirmation or promise, the breach of which would form the basis for a remedy (Meiners, 277). The guarantee may be oral or written in the contract of sale. This would cater for any hidden defects that may render the plane not of merchantable quality or fit for purpose. ...
