Types of corrosion most commonly found in soil, with particular emphasis on the most serious corrosion problems, including stress corrosion cracking, stray currents, and microbial corrosion. How to prevent or stop corrosion, with special emphasis on cathodic protection. Readers will gain an understanding of how to tackle their problem along with a knowledge of the extensive support available to them in the way of modern test instruments and protection equipment.
