Development and use of impressed current anodes for cathodic protection of underground structures is traced from early beginning to present time. Data for calculating anode resistance to earth is presented. Recommendations are made for installing anodes for various soil conditions. Advantages are given for deep ground beds in high resistivity soil and in urban areas. Use of lead alloy and platinum anodes for underwater use is mentioned. 5.2.3
