Road culverts made of corrugated metal structures were initially used as small pipes in both length and diameter. Today, road culverts made of corrugated metal structures are used with a span of 40 m and are a composite soil-steel system and are widely used in the field of transport construction. Road culverts made of corrugated metal structures are economical, aesthetically attractive, have the advantage of quick construction with minimal maintenance in the future, the estimated service life is usually from 50 to 100 years. Constantly operating in wet conditions, road culverts made of corrugated metal structures are subject to corrosion and abrasion due to environmental influences. Corrosion occurs in several places, for example, on the surface in contact with the soil, on the inside of the pipe where flowing water is present, or on the surface exposed to air. This is due to aggressive substances in the air, water or soil backfill material, such as salts, metals or other aggressive chemicals. Corrosion is the main cause of the destruction of metal structures. The rate of degradation of materials depends on environmental conditions. The expected service time of road culverts is determined by the durability of the material and the durability of the structure. The durability of the material refers to the ability of the pipe to resist wear due to the natural processes of corrosion, abrasion and erosion. When designing road culverts made of corrugated metal structures, it is important to understand the environmental conditions throughout its service time in order to assess the suitability of the material. To ensure compliance with the design service time requirements, the steel structure is protected with an anti-corrosion coating. The paper considers various protective coatings to increase the durability of road culverts from corrosion.
