1 Strength deck, side shell and Form a box girder resisting bending and other loads.
bottom plating
2 Freeboard deck, side shell and Function as a watertight envelop providing buoyancy.
bottom plating
3 Bottom plating Withstands hydrostatic pressure.
4 Forward bottom plating  Withstands slamming; plating thickness is
increased; intermediate frames are provided.
 Breast hooks and stringers are fitted.
 Minimum forward draught is recommended.
5 Inner bottom, bottom plating  Act as a double-plated panel to distribute the
DB floors and secondary bending effects due to hydrostatics loads
girders and cargo loads to main supporting boundaries such
as bulkheads and side shell.
 Resist docking loads.
6 Inner bottom  Acts as tank boundary for bottom tanks and
withstands local loading due to cargo.
 Contributes to longitudinal strength
7 Strength deck, upper deck  Withstands cargo handling equipment loading and
cargo loading in some case as that of the container
ship.
 Withstands loading due to shipping of green seas.
8 Remaining decks  Mainly withstand cargo loading, depending on
extent and distance from neutral axis; contribute to
longitudinal bending strength.
9 Side shell  Withstands hydrostatic pressure, dynamic effects
due to pitching heaving rolling and wave loads.
10 Transverse bulkheads  Act as internal stiffening diaphragms for the hull
girder and resist in plane torsion.
 Do not contribute to longitudinal strength.
 Generate watertight longitudinal subdivisions.
11 Longitudinal bulkheads  Contribute to longitudinal strength
12 Bulkheads, in general  From tank boundaries support decks and loads
generating equipment such as king posts and add
rigidity.
 Serve as watertight partitions.
Stiffening of Plates:
13 Corrugations on bulkheads Stiffen the bulkheads in place of vertical horizontal
stiffeners.
14 Balok-balok geladak (Deck Menambah kekakuan geladak (Stiffen the deck).
beams)
15 Deck girders Support the beams, deck transverses and transfer the
load to pillars and bulkheads.
16 Transverse framing  Stiffens the side shell; supports the longitudinal
stiffening.
 Supported in turn, by the decks, stringers and the
longitudinal girders.
17 Longitudinal framing  Stiffens the shell, decks, tank top etc.
 Is supported by the deep transverses.
18 Side shell framing (general) The web size is an important factor as regards
a. Cargo stowage
b. Panelling and insulation
c. Running of wiring, vents, piping etc
19 Vertical plates in double Stiffen the bottom panel as tank boundaries
bottom (floors, side and centre
girders)
