Abstract
Soil can be defined as a complex agglomeration composed of an aqueous solution with solid particles dispersed in, originated from the fragmentation of rock. Its pores entrap either water or air as competitors: these situations determine different corrosion mechanisms, related to the presence (or absence) of oxygen. In this Chapter, the corrosion forms in soil will be described, divided in three main groups: oxygen-related corrosion (general and localized, differential aeration), microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and stray current corrosion , by DC and AC. For these last conditions, acceptance criteria of interference are highlighted.
I see that water, nay, I see that fire and air and earth, and all their mixtures become corrupt, and but a little while endure.
