In Chap. 1, it was explained that beams resist the bending moment caused by lateral forces and that the section modulus is important in resisting this bending moment. In the design of mammoth tankers, 40,000–50,000 DWT, built around 1960, girders were designed based only on bending theory. For the bigger ships built after that era, shearing theory has been also applied.
