1 Introduction

 The net scantlings of the transverse watertight vertically corrugated bulkhead between the two foremost cargo holds are to be calculated using the loads given in section 2, the bending moment and shear force given in section 3 and the strength criteria given in section 4.

Where necessary, steel renewal and/or reinforcements are required as per section 6.

In these standards, homogeneous loading condition means a loading condition in which the ratio between the highest and the lowest filling ratio, evaluated for the two foremost cargo holds, does not exceed 1.20, to be corrected for different cargo densities.
