This paper investigates the corrosion factor to the global strength of aging offshore jacket platforms in different marine zones. The time-dependent corrosion wastage model from Melchers, an active corrosion expert, by considering different marine zones, i.e., atmospheric, splash, and immersion. In addition, three aged jacket platform models of the originally installed platform were selected to investigate the effect of corrosion wastage on global strength. The jacket platform's global strength is calculated by the Reserve Strength Ratio (RSR) value. RSR is obtained via nonlinear static pushover analysis and is always used to estimate overall structure strength reserves. Safety assessment is evaluated by the PETRONAS Technical Standard (PTS). According to this study, immersion zone corrosion is the most influential zone after splash zone corrosion. Furthermore, the study also predicts the lifetime of each jacket platform, and it is useful for structural engineers to estimate corrosion allowance at the early design stage.
