28 February 2022The complexity of corrosion mechanisms has made it difficult to establish norms and standards for solar steel structures in soils. Thanks to its extensive research, including laboratory and outdoor testing over a number of years, ArcelorMittal has proven that Magnelis® has a much more stable behaviour and much better resistance against corrosion compared with traditional zinc coatings. The French Corrosion Institute confirmed in December 2021 that Magnelis® behaves 3.8 times better than galvanised steel.

Revised version of the Piling Handbook available

The Piling Handbook (PHB) has been a reference in the steel piling industry for decades. Its main objective is to support design engineers and piling contractors to design safe and cost-effective steel sheet pile structures. Additionally, it contains many practical tips for installation.
In this first revision of the 9th edition, apart from correcting some typos, the engineers from ArcelorMittal Sheet Piling worked on two key chapters:
- Chapter 1 - Product information: The product range evolves constantly as new and more cost-effective sheet pile profiles replace older profiles. This updated chapter reflects the changes, but you can still find the section properties of profiles which are not produced any more in Chapter 13.
- Chapter 3 - Sustainability and durability: Nowadays, environmental aspects are a key parameter when selecting a solution. How can you compare the environmental footprint of alternatives? What is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) or an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)? Does the recycling rate have an influence on the carbon footprint? You will find short answers in this chapter. A paragraph on the durability of steel structures, which is one of the parameters influencing the environmental analysis, has also been added.
You can download the revised Piling Handbook below or from our Document library.

SiCA is a self-learning online platform for those in, or joining, the construction industry focussed on the use of steel as the material of choice for construction applications and required performances.
The story of SiCA
Just before the start of the new millennium, over 200 European steel and steel construction specialists (including ArcelorMittal) sat down together to create ESDEP, the European Steel Design Education Programme, to further the development of steel in construction.
We have taken this valuable content and revised, updated, and enriched it to meet the standards and requirements of 2022 and beyond. Don’t worry, we didn’t forget to comply with the most recent versions of the Eurocodes. The history of steel, construction physics, design, applications, and the properties of steel are just a sprinkling of the topics on offer.
This is just the beginning
Topics such as sustainable construction with steel, energy efficiency, or the circular economy were not of great importance all those years ago when this content was first created. Not only have we updated the content to meet the needs of these now very important topics, but such themes will be the subject of upcoming lectures.

Magnelis® steel outperforms galvanised steel in soil

The complexity of corrosion mechanisms has made it difficult to establish norms and standards for solar steel structures in soils. Thanks to its extensive research, including laboratory and outdoor testing over a number of years, ArcelorMittal has proven that Magnelis® has a much more stable behaviour and much better resistance against corrosion compared with traditional zinc coatings. The French Corrosion Institute confirmed in December 2021 that Magnelis® behaves 3.8 times better than galvanised steel.
Magnelis® behaviour in soils extensivley tested
Atmospheric corrosion of metals has been studied extensively for years. However, for structure parts in soil, corrosion mechanisms are more complex and corrosion categories cannot be defined in the same way. There are also fewer norms and standards regarding soil corrosivity, as well as less literature and data.
Nevertheless, engineers need to reduce this uncertainty and evaluate the lifetime of their solar structures, be they exposed to harsh atmospheric conditions or rammed in soil.
To achieve this, ArcelorMittal has developed a deep knowledge of the behaviour of Magnelis® in soils through accelerated laboratory and outdoor tests, internally and in collaboration with external research centres such as the French Corrosion Institute.
Different types of soils - clay, silt, and sandy - with different corrosivity levels (evaluated using the German standard DIN 50929-3: 2018) have been used for these tests.
The results, after several years, confirm the improved resistance of Magnelis® vs galvanised steel: the rate of corrosion of Magnelis® increases at a lower rate and with less dispersion of the results.
High performance in soil validated
In December 2021, The French Corrosion Institute assessed the performance of Magnelis® in soil and concluded that, in the tested soils range, the average corrosion resistance of Magnelis® in soils was improved by an average factor of 3.8 compared to continuous hot dip zinc coating. This factor has been calculated based on mass loss according to the ISO 8407 standard.
Depending on soil analysis, Magnelis® ZM430 (35 µm per side) or ZM620 (50 µm per side) are the minimal coatings to be used.
The durability of rammed poles can be guaranteed by ArcelorMittal on a project basis, provided that physical, chemical, and electrical soil analyses have been performed.

Global statement of the relative corrosion performance of Magnelis® in soils
Even if generally not visible after completion, foundations are a key element of construction as they connect projects to the ground, and in most cases, transfer loads into the ground. The design of these substructures is closely linked with geotechnical engineering in order to determine the most appropriate foundation solution for different construction and soil types.
Due to its high load bearing capacity and durability, steel is commonly used in foundation works of both buildings and civil engineering structures. Depending on their functions and types, foundations can consist of steel structures (e.g. with sheet piles), composite steel and concrete structures, or reinforced concrete.
Foundation structures include:
- Shallow and deep building foundations
- Bridge abutments
- Underground works (basements, underground car parks)
- Ports and harbour constructions
- River control structures and flood defense
- Temporary support for excavation sites
