A steel column basically is a column. The size of the building, the distance between the columns , the magnitude of the load that must be channelled to the earth (foundation), the methods of construction, the cost, the available time, and the number of floors, are all the main factors to decide what kind of material (wood, concrete, granite, or steel) to select.

Steel column is the strongest column. Its strength is typically 20 times that of reinforced concrete column. Therefore steel column is more suitable for highrise buildings.
