Corrosion below Ground Water Table

Corrosion below Ground Water Table

Corrosion below Ground Water Table

(OP)
This is intended to be general in nature.  Is corrosion below the ground water table (e.g. for piling) typically a concern?  

RE: Corrosion below Ground Water Table

In general, corrosion underground, below the water table - no problem.
Corrosion underground, above the water table - variable but not usually serious.

Download "NBS Monograph 58, Corrosion of Steel Pilings in Soils" from this page of my website
http://www.slideruleera.net/Steel-Piling.html

The "Bethlehem Steel H Piles" document, downloadable from the same page, also discusses the issue on page 27.
