2 Global hull girder loads
2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 This
section describes the calculation of global loads governing the design
of the hull girder where all three hulls are to be considered a part
of the hull girder. The structural effectiveness of the side hulls
is described in Vol 1, Pt 6, Ch 3 Global Strength Requirements.
2.1.2 The
still water bending moments and shear force distributions are to be
derived using a suitable direct calculation method for a range of
loading conditions which cover the operational envelope of the ship.
2.2 Still water bending moment
2.2.1 The
still water bending moment, M
sw, is the maximum
moment calculated from the loading conditions.
2.2.2 Still
water bending moments are to be calculated along the vessel's length.
For these calculations, downward loads are to be taken as positive
values and are to be integrated in the forward direction from the
aft end of L. Hogging bending moments are positive.
2.2.3 If the
vessel has low deadweight requirements and does not have a sag condition,
then the maximum sagging bending moment may be taken as the minimum
hogging bending moment.
2.3 Still water shear force
2.3.1 The
still water shear force, Q
sw, at each transverse
section along the vessel is to be taken as the maximum positive and
negative value found from the longitudinal strength calculations.
2.3.2 Still
water shear forces are to be calculated at each section along the
vessel's length. For these calculations, downward loads are to be
taken as positive values and are to be integrated in a forward direction
from the aft end of L
R. The shear force is
positive when the algebraic sum of all vertical forces aft of the
section is positive.
2.4 Vertical wave bending moment
2.4.1 The
vertical wave bending moment, M
w, at any position
along the length of the vessel is given by the following:
