The ship

The transverse bulkheads run from the tank tops or floors of the hold to the deck. The longitudinal framing consists of steel sections running the length of the ship into which are fixed the skin plates forming the hull. Nowadays, with the development of the welded construction, vessels are constructed on the combined system, which uses the longitudinal system in the double bottom, and at deck level uses transverse framing for the sides. Basically the combined system is better for welded construction.

The usage of a longitudinal framing system for decks, sides and bottom in the middle part, combined with an increase of transverse spacing and a simultaneous decrease of the longitudinal spacing, ensured more complete participation of the hull plates in the overall bending and better withstanding of local loads during mooring and keeping an acceptable overview of the construction.

Longitudinal framing structure is usually adopted in large ships, and the stiffened plates are supported by transverse frames. The test specimens were designed in the longitudinal direction, which provides simple supported boundary conditions. A test machine with the capacity of 3000â KN has been used and uniform loads have been applied vertically in the length direction of the simply supported models.
