CORROSION and SITE INVESTIGATION

Abstract

The economic significance of corrosion is now being increasingly appreciated throughout a wide range of industry. In some industries corrosion must be controlled if the industry is to function. This is so particularly of the chemical process industries, but is not wholly true of civil engineering. Exposed steel structures such as bridges must be protected, but generally the possibility of structural weakness arising from corrosion has been allowed for in design by generous safety factors. This attitude has generally prevailed in that part of civil engineering known as foundation engineering.
