ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the prediction of the probabilistic corrosion condition was investigated according to the Monte Carlo Simulation method. It examines the simulation procedure taking maintenance and repair into consideration was developed based on the full probabilistic corrosion model. An effectiveness of maintenance and repair were evaluated according to the procedure. A performance of corrosion protective coating has been improved by the Performance Standard for Protective Coatings of International Maritime Organisation, and the net thickness approach with corrosion additions are introduced in Common Structural Rules of International Association of Classification Societies as the effective measures for corrosion matter. The range of inspection, the practice criteria for coating maintenance and repair, and the execution of renewing of worn member were the factors in the evaluation. Thickness of a structural member is determined based on a required thickness, which is determined by the strength criteria, and a corrosion addition in general.
