3-2-1/3 Longitudinal Hull Girder Strength
The required hull girder section modulus SMR amidships, to the deck and bottom is to be
obtained from the following equation:
t = 0.07L + 0.007s mm
t = required thickness of plating
L = 57.5088 m
s = frame spacing, in mm = 609.6 mm
t = 8.292816 mm
= 8.5 mm (rounded)

3-2-2/3.5.1 Bottom Shell Plating
The thickness of the bottom shell plating within 0.4L amidships is not to be less than that
obtained from the following equation:
t = 8.637896 mm
= 9 mm (rounded)
1.1.2(a) t = 6.9 mm
= 7 mm (rounded)
1.1.2(b) t = 5.221 mm
= 5.5 mm (rounded)
t = thickness, in mm
s = stiffener spacing, in mm
k = (3.075 a 2.077)/(a + 0.272) where (1 a 2)
= 1.0 where a > 2
a = aspect ratio of the panel (longer edge/shorter edge)
q = 235/Y (24/Y, 34000/Y)
Y = as defined in 3-2-6/5.1
h = as defined in 5-2-1/3
s = 609.6 mm
a = 9753.6/2800 = 3.4834 >2
4|Page
So, k = 1.0
Y = 235 MPa
q = 235/Y = 1
h = h1
h1 = ht+ ha m
= 1.0
ht = 2.8 m
ha1 = 1.22 m
ha2 = 9.95pv
According to 5C-1-7/11.11 of Steel Vessel Rules, pv 0.21 bar.
Assume pv = 0.21 bar.
ha2 = 9.95pv = 2.0895 m
ha2 > ha1
Therefore, ha = ha2 = 2.0895 m
