Factors Affecting Corrosion of Buried Cast Iron Pipes

Although corrosion of metal in soils has been intensively investigated in the past, a review of the published literature shows that limited research has been undertaken to understand how soil properties affect the corrosion behavior of cast iron pipes, owing to the scarcity of the reported information on buried metal corrosion in its backfill soil condition. In this paper, a methodology is proposed to statistically analyze the effects of soil...
