Strengthening the bulk carriers corrugated bulkheads by fitting shedder or gusset and shedder plates
Abstract
Effectiveness of strengthening the bulkheads by fitting shedder or gusset and shedder plates is considered in the paper in connection with the new IACS unified reguirement concerning the strength of the foremost corrugated bulkheads of existing bulk carriers in flooding conditions. The requirement will compel shipowners to strengthen bulkheads in many ships. The considerations are illustrated by results of the finite element method (FEM) calculation of stresses in bulkhead corrugations under lateral load in flooding conditions.
