RE: Is any one know how to compare durability of concrete, steel and masonry?

Well, some masonry has been around since the Egyptian and Babylonian empires.

Some - not all! - of the Roman concrete has lasted - well, since the Roman Empire.

Steel has not been around as long. Unprotected, it will rust fairly quickly.

RE: Is any one know how to compare durability of concrete, steel and masonry?

EngSharra...you have to give some context and criteria for your question. As IRstuff noted, different conditions will yield different results for durability. Further, with concrete, the durability is greatly affected by the mix design and construction process.
