In this paper, Composite Repair System (CRS) is applied to repair the circumferential internal surface cracked steel pipes subjected to bending. The Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) is quantitatively analysed by means of numerical simulations, and the crack growth rate is predicted by using the Paris’ law. First, the three-dimensional finite element (FE) model is developed, and its reliability of evaluating SIF of internal surface crack in CRS reinforced pipe is validated. Then based on the FE method and combined with Paris’ law, a case study is deployed to predict the internal surface crack growth in steel pipes reinforced with CRS. The results show that CRS have significantly reduced the SIF of the internal surface crack and decrease the crack growth rate, while unchanging the variation trend of the crack aspect ratio. Afterwards, a parametric study is performed in order to guide the optimisation design of CRS reinforcement.
