ABSTRACT
A modified method for the structural integrity assessment of components subjected to Corrosion Fatigue (CF) is proposed. The criterion parameter assessing CF within industrial standards for integrity assessment is calculated invoking the model established by authors. Environment-Assisted Cracking (EAC) is the name given to the phenomenon where the cracking process of metals such as carbon steels is severely aggravated by the presence of aggressive environment. The chapter examines a modified method for structural integrity assessment of carbon steel structures subjected to CF. Structural Integrity Management has been widely adopted by engineers in the offshore oil and gas industry as a strategy to ensure the safe operation of critical structures such as subsea pipelines as well as maximize their earning capabilities. Determining the critical value of Stress Intensity Factor for EAC is challenging due to the number of variables that can significantly affect the material property and its behaviour.
