Answer:

Extra weight on the roof

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, A manufactured steel construction is intended to support the mass of the sheet materials and cannot support any more. A reinforced cement construction can support weight, but only to a certain extent, or particular care must be given while elevating the pillars to support the weight of automobiles and people.
