Common Structural Rules - Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers, January 2019 - Part 1 General Hull Requirements - Chapter 7 Direct Strength Analysis - Section 2 Cargo Hold Structural Strength Analysis - 3 FE Load Combinations

3 FE Load Combinations

3.1 Design Load combinations

3.1.1 FE load combination definition

A FE load combination is defined as a loading pattern, a draught, a value of still water bending and shear force, associated with a given dynamic load case.

3.1.2 Mandatory load combinations

For cargo hold structural strength analysis, the design load combinations specified in Ch 4, Sec 8 are to be used for considered ship type and considered cargo hold regions.

Each design load combination given in Ch 4, Sec 8 consists of a loading pattern and dynamic load cases as given in Ch 4, Sec 2. Each load combination requires the application of the structural weight, internal and external pressures and hull girder loads. For seagoing condition, both static and dynamic load components (S+D) are applied. For harbour and tank testing condition, only static load components (S) are applied.

3.1.3 Additional loading conditions

Where the loading conditions specified by the designer are not covered by the load combinations given in Ch 4, Sec 8, these additional loading conditions are to be examined according to the procedure in [4].
