ESTIMATION OF CORROSION RATE IN DURABILITY DESIGN OF STEEL PILES
The confidence of the corrosion estimate is one of the major parameters in the genuine durability design approach. In the durability design concept the corrosion rate is estimated by using empirical relations between typical conditions and soil parameters including soil type, ground water level, pH, resistivity of soil etc. The confidence level of the estimation is depending on the extent and quality of the in-situ investigations. The confidence level of the estimation is depending on the extent and quality of the in-situ investigations. This study has access to an empirical database that includes about 1600 published observations. Typical graphs of existing relationships between corrosion rate and different parameters are discussed in the paper.
