Section 2 Deck Load

201. Value of h

1. Deck load h (kN/m2) for decks intended to carry ordinary cargoes or stores is to be in accordance with the following (1) through (3) :

(1) h is to be equivalent to the standards given by 7 times the tween deck height at side of the space(m), or 7 times the height from the deck concerned to the upper edge of hatch coaming of the above deck (m). However, h may be specified as the maximum design cargo weight per

unit area of deck (kN/m2). In this case, the value of loading height of cargo.

h is to be determined by considering the

(2) Where timber and/or other cargoes are intended to be carried on the weather deck,

h is to be

the maximum design cargo weight per unit area of deck (kN/m2), or the value specified in Par 2, whichever, is the greater.

(3) Where cargoes are suspended from the deck beams or deck machinery is installed,

suitably increased .

h is to be

2. Deck load

h (kN/m2) for the weather deck is to be as specified in the following (1) to (4):

(1) h for the freeboard deck and the superstructure deck and the top of deckhouses on the free- board deck is not to be less than obtained from the following formula:

ᾜ Ņ ᾍNᾎᾚ Ň ←Ń (kN/m2) where:

ᾍ, ᾎ = As given in Table 10.1

ᾚ = As obtained from the following formula:

à P 90 m : ᾚ Ņ LǾLĴK à , 90 m ≤ à ≤ 150 m : ᾚ Ņ LǾLJÌ Ã Ñ ÌǾĨJ

← = vertical distance from the load line to weather deck at side (m), and ← is to be measured at fore end for deck forward of 0.15Ã abaft the fore end; at 0.15Ã abaft the fore end for deck between 0.3Ã and 0.15Ã abaft the fore end; at midship for

deck between 0.3Ã abaft the fore end and 0.2Ã afore for deck aftward of 0.2Ã afore the aft end

(2) h for deck in Line II in Table 10.1, need not exceed that in Line

the aft end; and at aft end

I.

(3) h

provision in (1) and (2).

less than 12.8.
