The world is actively developing offshore oil and gas fields. Various hydraulic structures are actively used for offshore production. Offshore fixed platforms have become widespread among these hydraulic structures. During operation, these platforms are subjected to various loads and influences, which include wind-wave and ice loads, temperature and vibration-vibrational effects, etc. causing their gradual destruction. Therefore, the determination of the values of the duration of the safe operation of welded joints of offshore platforms from the moment of their operation until the onset of their destruction, which is also called a resource, is a key requirement for ensuring the safe operation of these structures.
