The steel structure factory building is designed according to the 50-year application cycle in the structural design, so the normally designed steel structure factory building can be used for 50 years. However, the life of the plant will be affected by other factors such as climatic conditions. Many people don’t know how many years the steel structure factory building is, let’s find out below.
The service life of steel structure workshop
There are no specific requirements for the service life of steel structures in the code, but when designing the structure, most of the load codes use 50 years as the basic cycle load statistics. In other words, the probability of failure of a normally designed steel structure due to excessive load within 50 years is very small. Because once the steel structure is rusted, the mechanical properties of the structure will be difficult to ensure. In the steel structure design specification, there are better anti-corrosion measures for steel structures that have been used for more than 25 years. There are also workshops with light steel structures. The quality assurance of the suppliers of these plates and other components is generally about 10 years.
Factors Affecting Factory Building Life
The length of service life of a steel structure workshop depends mainly on its own quality, climate conditions, temperature and humidity in the workshop, and whether there is corrosive gas in the workshop. If effective maintenance measures such as anti-corrosion, fire protection and anti-oxidation are taken when building a steel structure workshop, the service life of the steel structure factory building will be greatly increased if the maintenance measures are done well. The service life of the steel structure factory building is determined by the surrounding environmental standards, local climate conditions, and maintenance status.
Generally speaking, when designing the structure, it is designed according to 50 years and the current cycle, so the life of a normally designed steel structure factory building is 50 years. However, the life of the plant will be affected by climatic conditions and other aspects.
