Corrosion of Steel Pilings in Seawater: Buzzards Bay -- 1975-1978
To determine the effect of geography and temperature on corrosion of pilings that support various types of structures in coastal areas, a 5-year study is being conducted at Dam Neck, VA, LaCosta Island, FL, and Buzzards Bay, MA. This report (1) summarizes the results of annual inspections between 1975 and 1978 of the pilings at Buzzards Bay, (2) compares these results with the results of the Dam Neck and LaCosta inspections, and (3) provides electrochemical field test data that will be useful to researchers concerned with coastal structural design. The electrical measurements of corrosion at Buzzards Bay were found to differ drastically from LaCosta and Dam Neck results. These differences were attributed to site-specific factors, and have tentatively been attributed to the high degree of marine life fouling noted on pilings at the Buzzards Bay test sites. It is recommended that further inspections include examinations of the pilings by marine biologists. (Author)
