![]() Section 1 Materials of construction1.1 General1.1.1 The Rules relate in general to the construction of steel units, although consideration will be given to the use of other materials. For the use of aluminium alloys, see Pt 4, Ch 2, 1.3 Aluminium. 1.1.2 The materials used in the construction of the unit are to be manufactured and tested in accordance with the requirements of the Rules for the Manufacture, Testing and Certification of Materials (hereinafter referred to as the Rules for Materials). Materials for which provision is not made therein may be accepted, provided that they comply with an approved specification and such tests as may be considered necessary, see also Pt 3, Ch 1, 4 Materials. 1.1.3 The requirements for materials for use in liquefied gas containment systems are specified in Pt 11 PRODUCTION, STORAGE AND OFFLOADING OF LIQUEFIED GASES IN BULK of these Rules. 1.1.4 For concrete structures, see Pt 9, Ch 4 Materials and Durability. 1.2 Steel1.2.1 Steel having a specified minimum yield stress of 235 N/mm2 (24 kgf/mm2) is regarded as mild steel. Steel having a higher specified minimum yield stress is regarded as higher tensile steel. 1.2.2 When higher tensile steel is used in the construction of the unit the local scantlings determined from the Rules for steel plating, longitudinals, stiffeners and girders, etc., may be based on a k factor determined as follows: or 0,66, whichever is the greater where 1.2.3 When higher tensile steel is used in the primary structure of ship
units, the determination of the hull girder section modulus is to be based on a
higher tensile steel factor

1.2.4 For the application of the requirements of Pt 4, Ch 2, 1.2 Steel 1.2.2 and Pt 4, Ch 2, 1.2 Steel 1.2.3, special consideration will be given to steel
where 1.2.5 Where steel castings or forgings are used for major structural components, they are to comply with Ch 4 Steel Castings or Ch 5 Steel Forgings of the Rules for Materials, as appropriate. 1.3 Aluminium1.3.1 The use of aluminium alloy is permitted for superstructures, deckhouses, hatch covers, helicopter platforms, or other local components on board offshore units, except where stated otherwise in Pt 3, Ch 1, 4.5 Aluminium structure, fittings and paint. 1.3.2 Except where otherwise stated, equivalent scantlings are to be derived as follows: Plating thickness: Section modulus of stiffeners: where ![]() 1.3.3 In general, for welded structure, the maximum value of 1.3.4 A comparison of the mechanical properties for selected welded and unwelded alloys is given in Pt 4, Ch 2, 1.3 Aluminium 1.3.6. 1.3.5 Where strain hardened grades (designated Hxxx) are used, adequate protection by coating is to be provided to avoid the risk of stress corrosion cracking. 1.3.6 The use of aluminium alloy for primary structure will be specially considered.
