Advantages:strong material, Light, Expensive.  It’s use as it is a re-usable component (only supporting the casting of the concert floor), and needs to be dismantled and reassembled thus needs to be light and strong.

It is restored on the side of the building and lifted by the crane when it is being used.

It is assembled and located freely. There is no joints to stablize the elements in the middle.
