What is the typical service life of a steel space frame?
Under ideal condition, the service life of steel structure space frame can reach 50 - 80 years. This is estimated based on the performance of steel itself and reasonable design structure. If the steel structure space frame is carefully designed, with full consideration of load, stress distribution and other factors, and used in normal environment, theoretically it can have a long service life. space frame Environmental fact ors 1.Corrosive environment: If the steel space frame is in a highly corrosive environment such as coastal area, near chemical factories, etc., the salt in the air and chemical gases (such as sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, etc.) will accelerate the corrosion of the steel. In this environment, the service life of the space frame may be shortened to 20 - 30 years. For example, for steel structure net racks at the seashore, as the chlorine ions in seawater will have serious corrosive effect on the steel, obvious rust stains may...
