This paper investigates the buckling and post-buckling behaviour of imperfect steel plates used in ship and related marine structures. The analysis is carried out using the non-linear finite element program ABAQUS. The effects of general corrosion are introduced into the finite element models using the uniform thickness reduction approach and a proposed quasi-random thickness surface model. The results obtained for the corroded plate models show that there are significant discrepancies in the prediction of plate post-buckling behaviour between the two general corrosion approaches. The uniform thickness reduction approach for compressive strength predictions produces optimistic results and therefore the question arises over its adequacy for design purposes.
