What is the longest lifespan of an air dome building?

The lifespan of an air-dome building can be up to 20 years or more, depending on several factors such as material quality, design, maintenance, and environmental conditions. Here are some concrete examples that demonstrate the long life of an air dome building:

Eden Project Greenhouse (London, UK): The Eden Project Greenhouse is one of the most famous air dome structures in the world, built in 2001. Located in Cornwall, England, it was designed as a huge ecological paradise with air dome construction technology.

The greenhouse, which has a lifespan of more than 20 years now, is still intact and offers visitors a unique ecological experience.

Split Stadium (Croatia): Split Stadium is an indoor stadium in Croatia with an air dome structure, completed in 1979. Despite being built in the 70s, the airdome is still in use and provides a venue for sports competitions and other events through regular maintenance and upgrades.

Vault of the Louvre in Paris (France): The vault of the glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris has an air dome structure that covers the entrance hall of the museum. Originally built in 1984, the dome has been around for more than 35 years and is still maintaining its unique appearance and function.

These cases show that with proper design, maintenance and upkeep, air dome buildings can have a considerable service life and serve different types of sites and activities. However, to ensure the long-term stability of the air dome building, it is important to carry out regular inspections, maintenance, and necessary restoration work.

Shanghai Zhanji air film professional answer:

Air membrane building refers to a building structure system that uses special building membrane materials as the shell and is equipped with a set of intelligent mechanical and electrical equipment to provide positive air pressure inside the air membrane building and support the main body of the building.

The life span of traditional buildings is about 30-50 years, and they need to be maintained in the later stage, and the extensive construction of buildings causes large resource consumption and high pollution. Compared with traditional buildings, air-membrane buildings have an advantage in the construction process of zero pollution and zero emissions, which helps environmental protection. At present, it is considered to be a temporary building (the service life is generally about 10-15 years), not a conventional permanent building, and can be disassembled, assembled and moved at any time according to the actual situation.

The air film inflatable building belongs to the self-supporting type without columns, beams, walls and roof trusses, and there is no relevant standard in the country, no construction standard, quality acceptance standard, and fire protection acceptance standard. At present, it is generally considered to be a temporary structure (the service life is generally about 10-15 years), and it is not a regular permanent structure.
