Aim of the course is to provide students with methods used to verify the hull girder longitudinal strength.
Additionally, the interactions with applicable international conventions and rules of classification societies on the scantling design of ships.
Acquired capabilities: global scantling analyses of hull structures and integration of results with local scantling ones
Teaching methods: Lectures and guided exercises in IT class
Assessment method: brief written exercise + oral (including discussion of exercises carried out during the course)
Necessary knowledge: Structural mechanics, Shipbuilding 1 & 2
Lectures (36 hours) and exercises in IT class (24 hours)
