What part of your wood pole buildings that are set in concrete or on a foundation are not lasting more than 30 yrs??

We have both steel (Butler) shop & wood framed building set on a concrete wall that's 4' in the ground, finished w/metal inside & out. Absolutlely no doubt about which one we'd build again if we had to. Wood. But again, don't put the poles in the ground.

30 yrs?? Lots of nice wood buildings around us that are more than 30 yrs old and they don't have concrete foundations either. Our footing is 2' wide, by 1' high, then a 4' x 8" foundation wall sitting on top of it.
