Corrosion Investigation and Protective Measures of Wharf Steel Pipe Piles at Home and Abroad

Abstract

The marine environment is a harsh corrosive one for many materials. Marine corrosion will seriously reduce the service life of the material, damage the function of the material, and cause a serious waste of resource. In marine engineering, steel and concrete materials are the most widely used. Among them, wharf steel pipe piles are very important marine engineering facilities, and their corrosion conditions have a great impact on the safe use for marine facilities. In this paper, the corrosion status , anti-corrosive technologies and their application effect of some wharf steel pipe piles at home and abroad were investigated. Besides, the effective protection measures were put forward.
