Abstract
Outlines the relation between corrosion and structural detailing of historic constructions. Due to a lack of knowledge about the behaviour of certain metals and corrosion processes at the time the structures were built, the issue of corrosion must now be addressed when dealing with the conservation and restoration of these structures. The author discusses the corrosion types of structural iron and steel: uniform corrosion; pitting corrosion; crevice corrosion and galvanic corrosion. Further discussed are the influences of relative humidity, air pollution and structural errors. Examples are drawn from train stations at The Hague and Den Bosch, and Palm House in Kew Gardens (London).
