(1) The deck plating of a barge in a rectangle form 8mm in thickness has a length of 21m and

width of 6m and is stiffened by the following:


- One deck center girder L200x100x10
- Six deck transverse stiffeners L200x80x8 (spacing 3m)
- Ten deck longitudinal stiffeners L80x80x8 (spacing 0.5m)
Calculate the weight and longitudinal center of gravity of the deck.

(2) From the following ship particulars at a certain load condition, calculate the light weight,
dead weight and total displacement of the ship:
Cargo weight = 6000 ton
Steel weight = 1620 ton
Outfitting weight = 1180 ton
Fresh water weight = 30 ton
E. R. machinery weight = 750 ton
Deck machinery weight = 450 ton
Fuel oil weight = 50 ton
Stores weight = 30 ton
Solid ballast = 20 ton
Water ballast = 30 ton
Number of crew = 40

(3) A cargo ship has the following particulars:


Length = 130m Breadth = 17.1m Depth = 10.05m
Draft = 8m Brake power = 3580 kw

Calculate:
1- Net and invoiced steel weight.
2- Light ship weight.
3- Total displacement.

Using the following basis ship data:


Length = 122m Breadth = 17.5m Depth = 9.15m
Draft = 7.5m Brake power = 2660 kw
Load displacement = 10500 tons
Total dead weight = 7500 tons
Fuel oil and fresh water = 5% of the total dead weight
Weight of outfitting = 560 tons
Net steel weight = 2360 tons

Use the method of dimensional differences and corrections for steel weight
estimation, and assume that:
- The machinery weight /kw = 0.04
- The ship has the same net deadweight as the basis ship.
- The ship has the same capacity of fuel oil and fresh water tanks as the basis ship.
- The length and breadth affect 50% of the outfitting weight.
Solution of question (1)
Volume of deck plating = length * breadth * thickness
= 21 * 6 * 0.008 = 1.008 m3
Weight of deck plating = volume * density
= 1.008 * 7.8 = 7.862 tons

Volume of deck center girder = volume of web + volume of flange


= 21 * 0.2 * 0.010 + 21 * 0.1 * 0.010 = 0.063 m3
Weight of deck girder = volume * density
= 0.063 * 7.8 = 0.491 tons

Volume of one deck transverse = volume of web + volume of flange


= 6 * 0.2 * 0.008 + 6 * 0.08 * 0.008 = 0.013 m3
Total volume of deck transverses = 0.013 * 6 = 0.081 m3
Weight of deck transverses = 0.081 * 7.8 = 0.629 tons

Volume of one deck longitudinal = volume of web + volume of flange


= 21 * 0.08 * 0.008 + 21 * 0.08 * 0.008 = 0.027 m3
Total volume of deck longitudinals = 0.027 * 10 = 0.270 m3
Weight of deck longitudinals = 0.27 * 7.8 = 2.106 tons

Total weight of deck and stiffeners = 7.862 * 0.491 * 0.629 * 2.106 = 11.088 tons
