Abstract
The object of this work was to investigate the fatigue performance of 25.4mm thick, butt welded ABS DH-32 steel plate under spectrum loading, which simulated the environmental conditions of the North Sea. Specimens were tested in sea water under different levels of cathodic protection. The results, including the previous freely corroding data, are discussed with regard to the effect of cyclic - frequency, loading history, weld profile and cathodic protection. This study indicated that load interaction effects are negligible in the present experiments. However, frequency, weld geometry and cathodic protection significantly effect fatigue life.
