Book excerpt: Results of inspections made on steel pilings which have been in service in various underground structures under a wide variety of soil conditions for periods of exposure up to 40 years are presented.In general, no appreciable corrosion of steel piling was found in undistrubed soil below the water table regardless of the soil types or soil properties encountered.Above the water table and in fill soils corrosion was found to be variable but not serious.It is indicated that corrosion data previously published by the National Bureau of Standards on specimens exposed under distrubed soil conditions do not apply to pilings which are driven in undistrubed soils.(Author).
