Common Structural Rules - Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers, January 2019 - Part 1 General Hull Requirements - Chapter 8 Buckling - Section 1 General - 1 Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Assumption
1.1.1 This chapter contains the strength criteria for buckling and ultimate strength of local supporting members, primary supporting members and other structures such as pillars, corrugated bulkheads and brackets. These criteria are to be applied as specified in Ch 6 for hull local scantlings and in Ch 7 for direct strength analysis.
1.1.2 For each structural member, the characteristic buckling strength is to be taken as the most unfavourable/critical buckling failure mode.
1.1.3 Unless otherwise specified, the scantling requirements of structural members in this chapter are based on net scantling obtained by removing tc from the gross offered thickness, where tc is defined in Ch 3, Sec 3.
1.1.4 In this chapter, compressive and shear stresses are to be taken as positive, tension stresses are to be taken as negative.
