Mechanically stabilized earth walls, MSEW, around Florida were instrumented through their concrete covers to survey corrosion rates of galvanized strip soil reinforcement by polarization measurements. The first broad survey was made 10 years ago as a baseline and a new survey is currently underway to assess long term corrosion rate trends. Initial results of an ongoing survey confirm low rates ...

This paper investigates the physical reasons for apparently poor conductivity of galvanized steel plates (GSP), which has not yet received a proper explanation. Apparent conductivities as low 0.1 MS/m were reported in past, are incongruously compared to DC steels (4 8 MS/m), or zinc (16.7 most common coating agent used against corrosion products. A comprehensive review results from metallurgy a...
