The design life of steel structures can vary depending on factors such as the quality of material used, level of maintenance, and exposure to environmental conditions. Generally, steel structures are designed to have a service life of around 50-100 years. However, with proper maintenance and periodic inspections, the lifespan can be extended beyond this range.
