Abstract
The relevance of corrosion fatigue to the design and operation of steel offshore structures is described. The variables affecting corrosion fatigue life are reviewed with attention being paid to cyclic stress conditions, environmental factors, and material characteristics. Finally, consideration is given to areas requiring further investigation.
