Section 4 Shell Plating for End Parts

401. Shell plating for end parts

1. The thickness of shell plating in the curved portions for 0.3Ã from each end of barge may be cal- culated using the spacing, Ċ , equal to the vertical or horizontal spacing of frames multiplied by

1.1. (See Fig 5.1)

2. The tapering of the thickness of shell plating is to be as per shown in Fig 5.2. The thickness of each plating is not to be less than the shown in Fig 5.2 approximately at the longitudinal center of the plating.
