Longitudinal Structural Components
Keel
- Large center-plane girder
- Runs longitudinally along the bottom of the ship
• Longitudinals
- Girders running parallel to the keel along the bottom
- It provides longitudinal strength
2
Longitudinal Structural Components (cont’d)
• Stringer
- Girders running along the sides of the ship
- Typically smaller than a longitudinal
- Provides longitudinal strength
• Deck Girder
- Longitudinal member of the deck frame (deck longitudinal)
• Floor
- Deep frame running from the keel to the turn of the bilge
• Frame
- A transverse member running from keel to deck
- Resists hydrostatic pressure, waves, impact, etc.
- Frames may be attached to the floors (Frame would be the
part above the floor)
• Deck Beams
4
- Transverse member of the deck frame
• Plating
- Thin pieces closing in the top, bottom and side of structure
- Contributes significantly to longitudinal hull strength
- Resists the hydrostatic pressure load (or side impact)

The ship’s strength can be increased by:
- Adding more members
- increasing the size & thickness of plating and structural pieces
Optimization
“G” Strake
Bilge (“F”) Strake
Seam or ‘Edge Laps’ are joints which runs fore and aft, along the
longer edges of plates
Sheer strakes are the upper strakes (continuous, fore and aft, lines
of plates) of shell plating on either side, next to upper deck.
10
Shell & Deck Construction
Welded plating is more liable to crack under hogging and sagging
stresses, especially in the region of sheer strake and the bilge.
11
Shell & Deck Construction
The corners of the openings must be rounded
and special arrangement to preserve strength
12
Openings in shell plating must:
* have rounded corners
* be reinforced to make up for missing material

Transverse Framing:
Many, closely-spaced Frames
• Deck Beams tie upper
ends of frames
• Fewer, deeper & more
widely spaced
Longitudinals …
• Support Inner Bottom
& give longitudinal
strength
Longitudinals
supporting Decks are called
(Deck) Girders
Additional Decks (supported by
Beams & Girders) increase
Transverse & Longitudinal strength
Transverse Bulkheads provide watertight boundaries, contribute significantly to
transverse strength, and provide vertical support for Decks 17
Transverse Framing:
Many, closely-spaced Frames
• Advantages
• Open, nearly rectangular interior space
• Ideal for stowing large, irregular, break-bulk items, or
• Vehicles (Ro-Ro’s)
• Disadvantages
• Vertical support for decks requires more closely spaced transverse
bulkheads (hence smaller compartments) or
• Pillars (stanchions) or
• Longitudinal bulkheads

Longitudinal Framing System
• Ship that are longer than 300ft (long ship) tend to have a
greater number of longitudinal members than transverse
members
21
Longitudinal Framing:
Deep (Web) Transverse Frames
• Advantages
• Widely spaced transverse bulkheads allow for large (i.e., long) continuous
cargo spaces (“tanks”)
• Ideal for stowing liquids (reduced free surface effects)
• Disadvantages
• No large, open interior spaces
• Difficult to load or unload break-bulk items
• Difficult to stow large, irregular shaped items

Combination Framing System
The longitudinal frames are retained at the bottom and under the
strength deck to give longitudinal strength.
34
Framing Systems:
• Typically, most ships have some combination of transverse &
longitudinal framing

Double Bottom Tank:
An inner bottom (or tank top) may be provided at a minimum
height above the bottom shell, and maintained watertight to the bilges.
This provides a considerable margin of safety, since in the event of
bottom shell damage only the double bottom space may be flooded.
The space is not wasted but utilised to carry oil fuel and fresh
water required for the ship, as well as providing ballast capacity.
It may be deeper to give the required capacities of oil fuel, fresh water,
and water ballast to be carried in the bottom. Water ballast bottom
tanks are commonly provided right forward and aft for trimming purposes
and if necessary the depth of the double bottom may be increased in
these regions.
In way of the machinery spaces the double bottom depth is also
increased to provide appreciable capacities of lubricating oil and fuel oil.
The increase in height of the inner bottom is always by a gradual
taper in the longitudinal direction, no sudden discontinuities in the
structure being tolerated.
Double bottoms may be framed longitudinally or
transversely , but where the ship’s length exceeds
120m it is considered desirable to adopt longitudinal
framing. The explanation of this is that on longer ship
tests and experience have shown that there is a
tendency for the inner bottom and bottom shell to
buckle if welded transverse framing is adopted.
This buckling occurs as a result of the longitudinal
bending of the hull, and may be avoided by having
the plating longitudinally stiffened

Double Bottoms
Two watertight bottoms with a void space
• Resists:
- Upward pressure
- bending stresses
- bottom damage by grounding and underwater shock
Deck plating is supported by pillars which ‘tie in’ the deck and
connect with the bottom structure.
The pillars also transmit deck loads to the bottom structure, where
there are distributed into the floors

Openings in the shell – Suction and Discharge
Fittings
If discharges comes from below freeboard deck, they must be fitted
with non-return valves except for discharges from manned E/R
A scupper from deck below freeboard deck must lead down to the
bilges or fitted with SDNR valve
