This report is one in a series of reports conducted as part of a two year Joint Industry Research Project 'Structural Maintenance for New and Existing Ships' initiated in June 1990 by the Department of Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering of the University of California at Berkeley to both develop practical tools and procedures for the anlaysis of proposed ship structural repairs and to prepare guidelines for the cost effective design and construction of lower-maintenance ship structures. This project was organized into six studies. The report is based on the results of Study 1 -- Fatigue Damage Evaluations whose objective is to develop and verify engineering guidelines for the evaluation of fatigue damage to critical structural components of existing ships. In particular, the development of the Tanker Information Database is documented in this report. This includes a summary of the development of the separate corrosion and crack databases and a detailed description of the improved database structure of the combined databases.
