Abstract
This chapter introduces hull structural design considerations for design loads and various strengths based on the CSR (Common Structural Rules). A hull structure is a frame of ship which consists of a number of hull structural parts such as plates, stiffeners, brackets, and so on. In the case of VLCC of 300,000 ton deadweight, its lightweight amounts to about 41,000 ton. It means this ship can carry more than seven times its own weight. For this, the hull structure of ship should have sufficient strength. The fundamental task of a hull structural designer is to determine the specifications of hull structural parts such as size, material, and so on inside the hull form and the compartment. Then, to evaluate the strength of hull structure, a series of analyses are performed.
