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

[EngSharra]

help me with a link or literature book or chart that i can know between concrete frame, steel and masonry frame which deteriorates faster than the other and it is by how much.

Thanks

Is this for school?

I don't see how that's even relevant design criteria, especially when you've not stipulated what's causing the deterioration.

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.

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.
