Abstract

This paper is the first of two companion papers dealing with ultimate longitudinal strength analysis of a container ship considering local loads effects. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the effect of bottom local loads on the longitudinal bending collapse behavior of a large container ship. An important problem is a bending deformation of the double bottom due to upward bottom local loads that may reduce the hull girder ultimate strength.
