Abstract
Steel sheet pile wall corrosion in soils and water is a complex phenomenon. The deterioration of these structures is costly and difficult to predict. The aim of this paper was to deal some empirical corrosion models which are analyzed and compared to Eurocode 3, Part 5 to estimate corrosion rate and the loss of thickness of anchored steel sheet pile wall. The results show that care should be taken to ensure that the maximum bending moments do not occur at the same level as the main corrosion zones. Furthermore, it is possible to define an upper and a lower bound, corresponding respectively to the presence of sea water in low water and the undisturbed natural soils, in order to predict the loss of thickness due to corrosion.
