- Description
- The modelling of both short- and long-term corrosion loss and maximum pit depth is increasingly of interest to engineers and others interested in prediction the remaining life of coastal and ocean infrastructure. This paper reviews a recent advanced modelling approach and simplifies this to development of a model for predicting maximum pit depth for mild steel subject to long-term marine environment exposure. A crucial aspect is that the model development considers, for the first time and explicitly, the influence of microbially induced corrosion (MIC). It is shown that uncertainty in longer-term pitting depth is likely to be time-invariant and is best represented by a Frechet distribution.
