Industrial Technology
American industry began with the mass-production of steel. Steel was much stronger than wood and stone and was able to make buildings taller, and bridges longer. With the coming of steel came the suspended bridge and the sky scraper. using steel cable, engineer John Roebling could design the Brooklyn Bridge, the worlds largest suspended bridge in 1883. skyscrapers could be developed by using steel frames, distributing and handling the weight better than wood or stone and could have larger windows because of the steel beams supporting the structure.
