N2  - In this paper we propose a new engineering methodology for continuous integrity evaluation of corroded pipelines. Their steel materials are applicable to predict ductile failures of full-scale pipes with pits, non-sharp notch-type corrosion defects and other metal losses which can be analyzed with spherical and spheroid shaped defects. Firstly, the validation of the elastic-plastic results obtained by a known FEA software is carried out, then, parameterization of starting characteristic and mobile defects deepening with the corrosion speed, furthermore the Complex diagram are introduced. <br><br>RESULTS (predicted load carrying capacities) calculated according to the developed procedure are published in the Part II.     Keywords: Pipeline transportation <p />  <p>Language: en</p>
