In theoretical evaluating of the corrosive conditions caused by stray current it is a common practice to calculate potential and current distribution along underground structures. Paper presents systems of equation which allows to calculate these distributions and the analysis of the influence of soil resistivity and coating resistance on corrosive conditions of underground structures.
