The annual cost of preventable, atmospheric corrosion of steel products is estimated to be 3-4% of the gross national product (GNP). For the United States, that represents $290 billion. The Life-Cycle Cost Calculator (LCC) was specifically developed to prevent you from designing your structure/project to contribute to that total cost. The LCC Calculator is for use on structures/projects that have atmospheric exposure only. It is not applicable for liquid or soil exposure, as those corrosion kinetics are quite different than atmospheric.
