CHAPTER 7: STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS (SECTIONS 15-18)

QUESTIONS:

1. These are relatively long columns subject to compressive loading and as such are subject to
failure by buckling rather than failure in compression.
2. These are continuous longitudinal members which usually run under a deck and provide support
for the transverse deck beams or deck transverses.
3. These usually perform the combined functions of girders (supporting the adjacent areas of decks
and hatch covers) and of keeping water out of the hatch.
4. Its primary function is to protect the openings which are fitted in the weather deck over the
engines and boilers (for access, for light and air, and for the uptakes from the boiler) against the
sea entering the ship through these openings in heavy weather.
5. Defined as those which exceed about 10 percent of the ships length in the ABS Rules and 15
percent of the length in Lloyds Rules.
6. Refers to those structures fitted to support and to secure equipment to the main hull structure.
7. These foundations are relatively simple structures designed to distribute the weight into the
bottom structure and prevent relative movement as the ship rolls and pitches.
8. These foundations usually consist of an open framework of heavy H-beams which transfer the
loads from the bolting pads to stanchions or other supporting structure.
9. The following are the principal considerations against the use of expansion joints except:
a. The working of the joiner work and other details of the joints in a seaway is usually
accompanied by objectionable creaking and leaking.
b. They cannot be spaced close enough practicably to serve their intended purpose of relieving
the houses of bending stresses.
c. They must be insulated from steel or other dissimilar metals attached to them.
d. They introduce severe concentrations of stress at the bottom of the joints.
10. The following are the advantages of using aluminum accompanied by its disadvantages except:
a. Aluminum gains its strength at elevated temperatures and must be insulated against heat to
be considered equivalent to steel as regards fire resistance.
b. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is almost twice that of steel, which causes assembly
difficulties and enhances the possibility of distortion with temperature variations in service.
c. Aluminum loses its strength at elevated temperatures and must be insulated against heat to
be considered equivalent to steel as regards fire resistance.
d. It must be insulated from steel or other dissimilar metals where attached to them in
locations exposed to weather or to wetting to avoid electrolytic corrosion of the aluminum.
