Abstract |
|
This paper explains the process of environmental attack on steel and shows that there is no problem of durability of steel structures in India or abroad, if proper protective measures are employed. High performance paints/coatings are now available to be applied after proper surface preparation for providing durable life. There are number of examples of structures built in steel more than 100 years ago being in use even today .This clearly indicates that durability can be ensured if properly designed, constructed and maintained. The properly protected steel buildings are very durable, without facing any corrosion. Even exposed steel structures such as bridges have served more than a century, still going strong in service. Concern about durability of steel structures is unwarranted as long as attention is paid to detailing and providing suitable corrosion protection measures at the design stage itself. |
