Vessel Structural Condition 1.

1.1 Which is the correct Hierarchy of Hull Strength Members?

Plate, Stiffeners, Girders, tank, Hull Girder.
1.2 Which of the below structures of bulk carriers are considered critical?
Upper and lower connections of main side frames.
1.3 Click the different ship condition and text and drug them, by moving the mouse, to the
corresponding beam.

1.4 What is the purpose of the girders in the tank?

They support the stiffeners and also take up some of the sea forces.

2.1 What is the difference between static and dynamic forces on a ship hull?
Static forces are set up by the cargo and the sea, and dynamic forces are set up by the sea (wave-
action).
2.2 Will the internal and external forces acting on a Bulk Carrier Cross Section change during loading?
Yes, the internal forces from the load and the sea water pressure will increase during loading.
2.3 What is the worse case consideration for the hull girder at sea?
When a wave length between the crests is approximately equal to the length of the ship.
2.4 What type of dynamic forces may cause indent in plating on forecastle deck and main deck in way of
pillars inside forecastle?
Pressure forces caused by green water on deck.

3.1 When does a bulk carrier experience extreme tension in bottom structure during fast rate loading?
During loading of heavy cargo in mid-ship holds.
3.2 Point and click at the critical area, most subjected to cracks in the bottom web frame in the oil tanker.

3.3 Point and click at where the largest forces are transferred from the girders to the transverse
bulkhead.
3.4 Point and click at the hard points where cracks may appear in the transverse web frame ring in single
skin oil tanker.

3.5 Point and click at the most stressed area of the horizontal stringer in bow area in a cargo vessel.

4.1 Point and click at, at least five of the most critical areas in an oil tanker.

4.2 Point and click at, at least four of the most critical areas in a bulk carrier.

4.3 Point and click at, at least four of the most critical areas in a gas carrier.
4.4 Point and click at, at least three of the most critical areas in the Ro-Ro and/or Ferry.
