Corrosion and Protection

Corrosion shortens the life of sheet piling, and protecting it is part of design. This chapter covers corrosion and protection, including how steel corrodes in soil, water, and the splash zone.

It covers methods for protecting steel piling, including coatings, special steels, additional thickness, and cathodic protection, and how to choose among them.

Owners and designers can use it to plan service life and maintenance.
