Microstructure and electrochemical corrosion behaviour of API 5L X90 pipeline steel in a simulated soil environment by Mahdi Yeganeh, Mostafa Eskandari, Hasan Mousavi

“…As a result of corrosion products forming on the active sites and rendering them inactive, the charge transfer resistance increased by approximately 1.5 times. Potentiodynamic polarization tests indicated an absence of passivation, accompanied by a decrease in corrosion current density and a shift in corrosion potential toward the cathodic direction during immersion. …”

Study on Vertical Uplift Resistance Characteristics of Pre-Drilled Planted Piles in Boulder Strata by Wenli Liao, Qipeng Cai, Hao Lin, Jiajin Zhou, Shizhuo Su, Xiangyu Guo

“…The results indicate that the ultimate uplift bearing capacity of piles with boulders in the pile body is approximately twice that of piles without boulders, and this difference decreases with the increase of the distance between boulder and the pile end; under ultimate uplift loading, the pile end of a pile containing boulders contributes approximately 32% of the uplift bearing capacity, whereas the pile end without boulders contributes almost no uplift capacity; the presence of boulders increases the cross-sectional diameter of the pile, providing additional vertical support from the overlying soil, thereby significantly enhancing the ultimate uplift bearing capacity of the pile. …”
