Section 6 Stiffeners

601. Section modulus

1. The section modulus of stiffeners is not to be less than that obtained from the following formula :

bending moment factor, defined in Table 3.4.5 and Table 3.4.8, for load and boundary

conditions and for, not defined in previous Tables, tic bending theory.

: span of the stiffeners (m ).

spacing of stiffeners (m ).

: designed pressure, defined in Ch 2.

allowable stress, defined in Table 3.4.1.

-values are directly from general elas-

2. The values, defined in Par 1, are to be regarded as the requirement about an axis parallel to the plating. As an approximation the requirement to standard section modulus for stiffeners at an obli- que angle with the plating may be obtained if the formula in Par 1 is multiplied by the following factor.

: angle between the stiffener web plane and the plane perpendicular to the plating. However, for -values less than 12° corrections are normally not necessary.

3. When several members are equal, the section modulus requirement may be taken as the average re- quirement for each individual member in the group. However, the requirement for the group is not to be taken less than 90 % of the largest individual requirement.

4. Front stiffeners of superstructures and deckhouses are to be connected to deck at both ends with a connection area not less than that obtained from the following formula :

And, side and after end stiffeners in the lowest tier of erections are to have end connections.

5. The section modulus of longitudinals or transverse stiffeners supporting the bottom plating is not to be less than that obtained from the following formula :

: bending moment factor.

= 85, conventional longitudinals.

= 100, transverse stiffeners.

slamming pressure, defined in Ch 2, 301.

: allowable stress, 180/

6. The shear area of longitudinals or transverse stiffeners less than that obtained from the following formula :

supporting the bottom plating is not to be

allowable stress,

: spacing of stiffeners (m

as defined in Par 5.
