Corrosion Allowances and Remaining Strength Calculations: Practical Guidance for Structural Engineers Corrosion is a predictable, pervasive threat to steel framing and aluminum members alike. When new, structures are designed with deliberate corrosion allowances and safety factors; over time, inspection data and condition assessments must be used to update remaining strength calculations. This post walks through how corrosion allowances are established, how to evaluate r
