Internal erosion refers to the seepage-induced fine particle migration phenomenon in soil. Deep alluviums in valleys usually contain cohesionless gap-graded sandy gravels with poor internal stability. The construction of embankment dams on such alluviums...

The lifespan of low-carbon steel petroleum pipelines can often be shortened by the erosion?corrosion damage caused by their service conditions. Applying electroless Ni-P coating is a promising option to protect the steel from the environment due to its h...
