Common Structural Rules - Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers, January 2019 - Part 1 General Hull Requirements - Chapter 4 Loads - Section 7 Design Load Scenarios - 1 General

1 General

1.1 Application

1.1.1 This section gives the design load scenarios that are to be used for:
  • Strength assessment by prescriptive and direct analysis (Finite Element Method, FEM) methods, as given in [2].
  • Fatigue assessment by prescriptive and direct analysis (FEM) methods, as given in [3].

1.1.2 For the strength assessment, the principal design load scenarios consist of either S (Static) loads or S+D (Static + Dynamic) loads. In some cases, the letter ‘A’ prefixes the S or S+D to denote that this is an accidental design load scenario. There are some additional design load scenarios to be considered which relate to impact (I) loads, sloshing (SL) loads and fatigue (F) load.
