CORROSION TEST OF STEEL PILING IN SEA WATER

The test described includes bare piles, coated piles and piles with sacrifical anodes. Data are obtained on the piles by pulling one of each set of three at 5-yr intervals for detailed analysis of corrosion and abrasion damage. Data are also gathered annually by visual inspection, photographs and electrical measurements. Information obtained from this installation aids in estimating the life of steel piling with and without various forms of protection in similar marine environments.
