Publisher's Synopsis
The book deals primarily with carbon steel s corrosion and how to control it in natural environments such as fresh waters, seawater, atmospheres, and soils. Summarizing the corrosion characteristics of carbon steel in a unique and systematic way, this book aids engineers and associated professionals in understanding and managing corrosion of steel structures, such as utility piping in buildings, harbor facilities, marine structures, bridges, underground pipelines, and foundation pilings. It also provides case histories illustrating examples of modern corrosion engineering, including approaches based on design, coatings, and cathodic protection.
