Linear anode-pipe arrangement cathodic protection system with a complete nonlinear cathode boundary condition is analyzed by finite element method numerical simulation to extract the effective parameters for both coated and uncoated pipe. The results show that defect size ratio, linear anode-to-pipe distance, and pipe diameter are fundamental parameters to design an effective cathodic protection system able to guarantee a proper current distribution. Soil resistivity has a significant effect on the current distribution of both coated and uncoated pipe. The results show that the 100 mV potential shift criterion for a single linear anode-pipe arrangement can be ineffective and a two anode system may be required.

Corrosion is an international problem with more structures and materials buried in the soil. The most common and applicable technique to overcome this problem is cathodic protection. In this work a Carbone steel pipe of length 100 cm is buried in a wooden box submerged by soil and Impressed Current Cathodic Protection system was applied using power supply and close circuit, several important factors has been studied, like Anode position (distance and depth), soil resistivity (wet and dry), condition the pipe (coated and un-coated), distribution of potential and currents along the pipe (cathode), the amount of current required to achieve cathodic protection. A mathematical model was developed to simulate the ranges of parameters and factors affecting Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP). Regression of this model to data and results yielded parameter values vary depending on the effect of the same factor.

In this research, the effect of soil resistivity on the sacrificial cathodicprotection of a pipeline steel of oil was studied. Sufficient sacrificial cathodicprotection could be obtained at various soil resistivty for different types ofanodes. High current output (2.98, 2.38 and 8.33 Amps) of Zn, Al and Mganodes respectively, are obtained at 25 ohms.cm soil resistivity. Simultaneous,for the same conditions, low numbers and large weights of anodes are requiredto satisfy protection

Cathodic protection is a very well-known method of preventing or stopping reinforcement corrosion and thereby extending the service life of reinforced concrete civil structures. However, a number of factors, which among others are design, materials and components, installation methods, quality of workmanship, and operation and maintenance of the cathodic protection system, have influence on the functionality and effectivity of the cathodic protection system. The optimum design that fulfils the Client''s requirements to cost, traffic disruption, service life, etc. shall be determined in accordance with the structure layout and the ability of the Client''s organisation to conduct operation and maintenance. It is critical to ensure that all components are installed properly to achieve the expected service life of the system. Regular and correct operation and maintenance is also crucial to ensure the functionality and effectivity system.
