This paper presents a numerical simulation of the reversible hydrogen trapping effect on crack propagation in the API 5CT P110 steel using a model based on a synthesis of fracture mechanics and continuum damage mechanics. The trapping term at the diffusion equation of this model was replaced by the equivalent term of McNab & Foster's model. Was simulated an C(T) specimen loaded in the mode I, in linear elastic regime, in plane strain state, and under the action of a static mechanical loading and hydrogen effect. The simulations showed that the material degradation ahead of crack tip increases with increasing in hydrogen concentration due the trapping with low interaction energies. Furthermore, the process of onset and crack growth in material with reversible traps is faster than the material free of traps. These results show a good correlation and consistency with macroscopic observations of the trapping effect, providing a better understanding of the hydrogen embrittlement in structural steels
