The present study is focused on assessing the effects of localized pitting corrosion on the collapse strength of unstiffened plates. A series of non-linear (FE) analysis using ANSYS program are performed to explore the effect of pitting corrosion on the collapse strength of both rectangular and square steel plate subjected to axial compression, by varying the pitting distribution intensity as well as the plate geometry. A formula for predicting the collapse strength reduction due to pitting corrosion is derived by using regression analysis.
