In thin soil layers, the corrosion is accelerated with the increasing soil thickness due to more water contained in the soil. With the further increase of the soil layer thickness, the blocking effect of the soil on diffusion of corrosive species is dominant. The corrosion of the steel also depends heavily on the gassing condition in the soil. Under the specific soil layer thickness, the steel suffers from the highest corrosion rate in aerobic soil, which is followed by the 5% CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; bottom: -0.25em; color: rgb(31, 31, 31); font-family: ElsevierGulliver, Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &quot;Cambria Math&quot;, &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;, serif, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(31, 31, 31); font-family: ElsevierGulliver, Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &quot;Cambria Math&quot;, &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;, serif, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;/N&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; bottom: -0.25em; color: rgb(31, 31, 31); font-family: ElsevierGulliver, Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &quot;Cambria Math&quot;, &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;, serif, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(31, 31, 31); font-family: ElsevierGulliver, Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &quot;Cambria Math&quot;, &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;, serif, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;-containing soil.
