Completed
An ad hoc committee will critically examine the state of knowledge and technical issues regarding the corrosion of steel used for earth applications (e.g., for ground stabilization, pipelines, and infrastructure foundations) in unconsolidated earth or rock in different geologic settings. The committee will summarize mechanisms of steel corrosion, assess the state of practice for characterizing factors in the subsurface environment that influence corrosion and corrosion rates, and assess the efficacy and uncertainties associated with quantitative, field, and laboratory methods for predicting corrosion. Knowledge gaps and short- and long-term research needed to improve long-term performance of steel will be identified.
