The literature states that the existing guidelines mainly focus on the ultimate strength of uniform corroded joints in the Jacket-type re-assessment. However, joints are non-uniformly corroded in different shapes in reality. Results derived from theoretical equations in these scenarios are significantly different from the actual capacity of the frame joints. This paper studies the influences of thickness and corroded area on the T- joint’s ultimate strength for a chord based on the numerical model ABAQUS. Numerical results show the effects of location and dimension at corroded areas on the tubular joint ultimate strength. Moreover, this research proposes a new formula based on API to estimate the strength of T-joints connected with non-uniform corroded compressive braces in certain conditions. This equation is validated by comparison of the numerical simulation in independent cases.
