1.1 Yielding check

1.1.1 Plating The net thickness, t in mm, is not to be taken less than the greatest value for all applicable design load sets, as defined in Ch 6, Sec 2, [2.1.3], given by:

where:

Ca : Permissible bending stress coefficient for plate taken equal to:
  • , not to be taken greater than Ca-max.

β : Coefficient as defined in Table 1.

α : Coefficient as defined in Table 1.

Ca-max : Maximum permissible bending stress coefficient as defined in Table 1.

1.2 Plating of corrugated bulkheads

1.2.1 Cold, hot formed and built up corrugations

The net thicknesses, t in mm, of the web and flange plates of corrugated bulkheads are not to be taken less than the greatest value calculated for all applicable design load sets, as defined in Ch 6, Sec 2, [2.1.3], given by:

where:

bp : Breadth of plane corrugation plating:
CCB : Permissible bending stress coefficient for corrugated bulkhead plating taken equal to:
  • For acceptance criteria set AC-S for transverse corrugated bulkheads and vertically corrugated longitudinal bulkheads.

    CCB = 0.75

  • For acceptance criteria set AC-SD for transverse corrugated bulkheads and vertically corrugated longitudinal bulkheads.

    CCB = 0.90

  • For horizontally corrugated longitudinal bulkheads, without being greater than CCB-max.

βCB : Coefficient as defined in Table 2.

αCB : Coefficient as defined in Table 2.

CCB-max : Maximum permissible bending stress coefficient as defined in Table 2.

1.2.2 Built-up corrugations

For built-up corrugations, with flange and web plate of different thickness, the net thickness, t1 in mm, is to be taken as the greatest value calculated for all applicable design load sets, as defined in Ch 6, Sec 2, [2.1.3] given by:

where:

t1 : Net thickness of the thicker plating, either flange or web, in mm.

t2 : Net thickness of the thinner plating, either flange or web, in mm.

bP : Breadth of thicker plate, either flange or web, in mm.

CCB : Permissible bending stress coefficient as defined in [1.2.1].
