Title:

Rehabilitation of corroded offshore tubular joints with Carbon Fibre Reinforcement Polymers (CFRP) laminates

Abstract:

A considerable number of tubular structures were built around the world in the last century such as offshore platforms, exhibition halls, bridges, stadiums, industrial plants, railway stations and airports. Tubular joints are the vital parts of those structures as it plays an essential role in its stability. Those structures -especially offshore platforms- are exposed to environmental condition such as air and raining and seawater. Therefore, the safety of those structures is mainly threatened by the risk of corrosion, which is one of the most common reasons for the loss of such structural integrity. Statistically, in welded tubular structures, a certain number of corrosion defects located at the brace to chord intersection of the joint, leads to reduce its bearing capacity and service life. Therefore, one of the significant challenges confronting the researchers is extending and enhancing the bearing capacity and service life of those structures. Thus, the focus in this presentation on the rehabilitation of corroded offshore tubular joints by utilizing Carbon Fibre Reinforcement Polymers (CFRP) laminates as a strengthen materials and corrosion inhibition technique.
