Introduction

For girders being part of a complex 2- or 3-dimensional structural system, Lhe «Rules for Classification of Steel Ships» (henceforth refered to as «the Rules») require a complete struclural analysis to be carried oul. The analysis is to show that the stresses will be acceptable when the structure is loaded in accordance with described design load conditions.

Any recognized calculation method or computer program may be applied, provided the effects of bending. shear, axial and torsional deformations arc considered when relevant.

Strength analysis carried out in accordance with the procedure outlined in this Note will normally be accepted as basis for class approval.

Computer programs offered by VERTAS are particulDrly suitable lor calculatio ns specified in this Note. These programs are ava ilable f'or external users al the head office computer centre and at
