The alternate hold still-water loading in hogging combined with wave loading is critical for the safe design of bulk carriers. The ultimate longitudinal strength of the hull girder of bulk carriers in this condition has been found to be considerably reduced by the action of local lateral pressure loads. In the present paper, an interaction equation based on the ultimate hull girder strength assessment...
This is the first of two companion papers dealing with nonlinear finite element modelling and analysis of the ultimate strength of a bulk carrier hull girder under alternate hold loading (AHL) condition. The purpose is to contribute to establishing rational ultimate longitudinal strength criteria for the hull girder under combined loading. The focus is on the hogging condition. An important issue...
