Impact of Soil Characteristics and Moisture Content on the Corrosion of Underground Steel Pipelines

External corrosion of underground steel structures is a major environmental and economic burden. The severity of such detriment depends on many factors that encompass: soil properties, moisture content, total soluble salts, the presence of microorganism, and method of metal protection. The investigative endeavor put forth bestows prime attention to the effect of soil attributes and moisture loading on the corrosion of submerged steel structures....
