CORROSION RESEARCH ROUND‐UP

Abstract

Over the last 20 years increasing use has been made in Sweden and Norway of steel piling for the foundations of buildings on bedrock. Where bedrock is encountered at a comparatively low level, steel often represents the cheapest means of obtaining a secure foundation, but the use of steel piling is still restricted because of the uncertainties of the corrosion effect. If the foundations are to be safe for a period of about 150 years, the corrosion rate must not exceed 1/50 mm. p.a.
