- Description
- Increasingly climate change, including the possible rise of seawater surface temperatures is causing some concern regarding the integrity of commercial and industrial structures in marine exposed environments. Structural integrity (serviceability and safety) may be compromised by the increased rates of corrosion reactions caused by increased average temperatures. Immersed structural systems also may be prone to microbiologically influenced corrosion. In this paper, three different extrapolation techniques are used to model expected corrosion loss. They are based on the same set of short-term empirical mass loss data for 1 year exposures. The results are compared with mass loss data obtained from steel piling exposed for 33 years. It is shown that the extrapolations from short term data can be very significantly in error compared with actual observations and with better modelling approaches. The effects of temperature increase and of increased microbiological influences are considered as part of the investigation.
