Characterization of corrosion morphologies from deteriorated underground cast iron water pipes

Following the completion of the Advanced Condition Assessment and Pipe Failure Prediction project in Australia, it has emerged that cast iron pipes normally experience corrosion damages extending over the large spatial area that resemble a patch, and structural failures are commonly associated with these patches. In this study, we defined a corrosion patch as a cluster of individual defects within or less than the one‐wall‐thickness distance of...
