Monitoring the Durability of Buried Geotechnical Assets
The underground environment affects the durability of materials and the service life of geotechnical assets, which often incorporate metal elements that are buried or inserted into the ground. The durability of these metal elements (i.e., soil reinforcements, ground anchors, tie-backs, steel piles, culverts, drainage pipe) depends upon details of the subsurface, the corrosivity of the earthen materials, and corresponding rates of metal loss. Corrosion-management practices commonly implemented into the design of geo-civil structures may include coatings such as polymers or galvanization along with expendable steel. Expendable steel aims to extend service life beyond the life of the coating by compensating for anticipated metal loss due to corrosion. Performance data are useful to assess the adequacy of current corrosion-protection designs or to assess the corrosivity of alternative fills used in modern design practices like industrial byproducts or lightweight fill materials, and the corresponding effects on service life.
