Analysis of Corrosion of Carbon Steel using Gauss-Seidel Iteration

1. Introduction

Practical experience with port and harbour works suggests that the influence of corrosion of carbon steel is greater than is commonly supposed. The analytical work is supported by Gauss-Seidel iteration applied to scaled specimens. The study establishes that the effect of corrosion of carbon steel becomes significant once the load exceeds 3 times the working value. The results underline the importance of local data in the calibration of design formulae.
