Abstract

In case that tug boat pushes side structures of other large vessels to maneuver, it is required that contacted side structures of the maneuvered vessels have enough structural safety against tug push loads. The objective of this study is to evaluate the structural effect of carling which is installed between side longitudinal stiffeners. A comparative study of side structures with carling and without carling is performed to evaluate the effect of carling member by both FE analysis. According to the result, it is found that the carlings play effective role in the strength of side plates and side longitudinal stiffeners against tug push loads.
