3 Bending moment and shear force in the bulkhead corrugations

 The bending moment M and the shear force Q in the bulkhead corrugations are obtained using the formulae given in 3.1 and 3.2. The M and Q values are to be used for the checks in section 4.

3.1 Bending moment

 The design bending moment M, in kN.m, for the bulkhead corrugations is given by:

where:
F = resultant force, in kN, as given in 2.5
ℓ = span of the corrugation, in m, to be taken according to figures 2a and 2b.

3.2 Shear force

 The shear force Q, in kN, at the lower end of the bulkhead corrugations is given by:

where:
F = as given in 2.5.
