Samenvatting
Durability of plain galvanized steel drainage pipe is associatedwith climate/terrain features that influence water/soil chemistry. The diverse climate/terrain features of south america provided a convenient setting for development of a regional approach to selective galvanized pipe application based generally on these features and more specifically on measured water/soil chemistry trends.
