Aspects of fatigue strength assessment of tubular joints are discussed, with particular emphasis on the definition of hot spot stress, fracture mechanics modeling, load shedding, environmental effects and effects of variable amplitude loading. Results from the SINTEF/TWI project are reviewed, and recommendation on further development of design practices are given.
