This book is designed for the reader who has a basic knowledge of corrosion processes but who needs more practical, specific information on combating metallic corrosion in soils.

The introductory chapter briefly explains the soil corrosion problems that currently face us and explains why they have increased so rapidly in importance. The two following chapters deal with soils - their properties and variations - so that estimates of soil corrosivities can be made.

The next chapters discuss the types of corrosion most commonly found in soil, with particular emphasis on the most serious corrosion problems: stress corrosion cracking, stray currents, and microbial corrosion. The last half of this text, Chapters 10 through 13, covers ways to prevent or stop corrosion, with cathodic protection being the most used and consequently the method given the most emphasis.

Readers of this book will gain an understanding in how to tackle their problems, along with a knowledge of the extensive support available to them in the way of modern test instruments and protection equipment.
