An assesment of the reliability of an old pipeline system with respect to corrosion based on structural reliability calculations.  The work involved developing a model for corrosion failure of low toughness pipe, using statistical data to develop probability distributions for pipe parameters and corrosion severity, and using the results to calculate the probability of failure due to corrosion as a function of time.
