Maximum bending moment capacity of circular perforated offshore steel tubular members

Offshore steel tubular structures may experience perforations during their lifespan due to effects of the corrosive marine environment, which leads to deterioration of their strength capacity and lifetime shortening. There is a lack of procedures to quantify the structural capacity loss in view of the damage dimensions and geometrical characteristics of the tubular members. In this work, the maximum bending moment capacity of circular perforated...
