Abstract
In this paper, we discuss on an applicability of FEA to corrosion thinning of steel structures. We take a dam gate as an example of the steel structure and calculate the same gate FEA model by use of two different commercial FEA codes, Abaqus and ADINA. This FEA model has the thin elements on the arms. We simulate the corrosion thinning by step-by-step removing these elements. From the comparison of calculated stress on the gate arm, the element removing function is applicable to the simulation of the corrosion thinning.
