About OffCon: OffCon is a MS EXCEL based checklist and calulation tool for verification of the design of
offshore containers. This program does not include any detailed analysis of the container framework. Detailed
frame analysis may be performed using DNV 3-D Beam or other beam calculation programs.supplement to
beam calculation.

The program is copyright by Det Norske Veritas, and is based on the rule requirements of DNV Certification Note 2.7-1
May 1995. This version is preliminary and is only intended for evaluation purposes. Feedback and comments will be
appricated: e-mail: per.dalsjo@dnv.com.

3.2 Structural strength

The required strength of a container is found by performing calculations using the below loads.

3.2.1.1 Lifting with lifting set

Design load
F=(2.5xR-T)g = 0.0 N
Resulting sling force
RSL=(3xRxg)/(n-1)xcos v = 0.0 N

3.2.1.2 Lifting with fork truck

Design load
F=(1.6xR-T)g = 0.0 N

3.2.2.1 Horizontal impact

Static equivalents to impact loads
F=0.25xRxg = 0.0 N Corner post, bottom frame
F=0.15xRxg = 0.0 N Other

3.2.2.2 Vertical impact

Static equivalents to impact loads
F=0.25xRxg = 0.0 N Bottom side/ end rails

Load cases
The calculated distributed loads are ment to be applied to a 3D -model of the unit made using frame analysis
software. The length of the load bearing elements in the bottom frame should be entered into the cell below.

Length of load-bearing members mm

Distributed Load Total Load

4 Point Lift

Fork Pocket Lift
f=(1.6xR)g/l= #DIV/0! N/mm F=(1.6xR)g= 0.0 N
Impact Loads
f=Rxg/l= #DIV/0! N/mm F=Rxg= 0.0 N

Please note! Beam deflection and stress is calculated using simplified beam theory. If stresses exceed the yield
stress of the material or deflections exceeds the calculated maximum, more detailed analysis needs to be
performed.
