Optimization of maintenance and design of coastal steel infrastructure needs for long-term predictive degradation models. The phenomenon of corrosion in the offshore and coastal environment is very complex due to the stochastic and changing nature of the environment (temperature, water chemical properties) and the multiple involved processes in competition. In the GEROM French project, the objective was to build a database of the residual thickness measured from ultrasonic measurements on sheet piles and piles carried out during 40 years in commercial and military harbors along the French coast. A total amount of 35,460 measurements were gathered. After a detailed analysis of the data and statistical modeling, a probabilistic model of corrosion is proposed for sheet piles. It relies on a piecewise description of the process with the depth depending on the exposed zone and a time-dependent evolution of parameters of the gamma probability density function.
