Summary
The corrosion rate of weathering steel is considerably lower than that of the standard carbon steel. In spite of this, the possible effects of corrosion losses on reliable service of the structure throughout the designed service life should be considered when designing the structures. A new prediction model designed for calculation of corrosion losses is introduced in this paper. This paper also introduces the experimental corrosion tests that are carried on the existing weathering steel structures to validate the analytical model.
