Abstract
This chapter presents the main configurations and geometrical properties of ship structure members. The structural features of ship stiffened panels and frameworks are clarified. Standard and fabricated stiffening members commonly used in ship construction are presented. The geometrical properties of standard and symmetrical and asymmetrical fabricated sections with attached plating are determined. The effect of variation of thickness of attached plating on the magnitude of section modulus and second moment of area quantified. Geometrical and flexural properties of curved plates are given. Equivalent rolled and fabricated sections of commonly used ship strength members are given. Rational shapes of cross-sections of beams and columns are given. Procedures are given for the design of fabricated T-sections and the determination of optimum depth of Isection girders.
