Current Wisconsin Department of Transportation policy severely limits the use of aluminum drainage structures (pipe and boxculverts) based on the observation of pitting corrosion from deicing salts that led to the failure of an aluminum culvert inWisconsin in 1993. The research goal is to establish best practices for aluminum culvert use and formul
